Purple coneflowers, which began with three tiny plantlets, run rampant along the fence. Gorgeous yellow daylilies just glow, even when the sun has moved to the other side of the house.
Spikes of liatris help attract butterflies...
Phlox is just beginning to open, and its sweet smell never fails to remind me of my childhood.
I've seen a few butterflies enjoying the garden, and I hope slightly cooler temperatures bring even more of them in coming weeks.

Such a beautiful place to hang out. The light looks like it comes right out of those pretty yellow flowers. And here's hoping that cooler weather is right around the corner for all who are suffering from the heat.
Beautiful! The butterfly weed looks amazing.
Beautiful, Nancy. I have noticed more butterflies this year.
Hope you're staying cool.
How beautiful. You must have some rain where you live.
Phlox is my FAVORITE flower! Well besides pink roses. And mine just bloomed! I'll not post what my front yard looks like after the construction workers have been trampling through it for a week. I think it would kill a piece of your soul.
Your photos are lovely. I have much of the same things blooming, or I should say they were blooming. It is so hot, they are already looking spent.
I've not see one butterfly or hummingbird this year. I've heard it is too hot for the hummingbird, They are all still up in the mountains. Smart! Enjoy your garden and all that it attracts.
Hay Nancy! Lovely photos, thanks for sharing them! Indigo
How blessed you are with a gift to grow and showcase God's beautiful creations.
What a beautiful garden you have! I can never get my coneflowers to flourish, but share your love of phlox (which grow like wildflowers on the end of my house).
Pretty flowers, I love the purple and yellows this time of year! :)
What a wonderful garden! We have any number of beds around our home but not a single flower - all shrubs. i'm jealous.
So Beautiful! I need your help!
I am so jealous! What a gorgeous garden!
