Summer has arrived, and already it is too hot for me out there. The garden has shifted from pretty blossoms, to hearty succulents and blooming Hosta.

The lilies have finally bloomed.

This is their third year in the garden. They look pretty in the ivy and shade.

These little lilies never got very tall, and oh goodness I have neglected my weeding duties.

The Hosta have bloomed. The hosta bed also needs a bit of tiding. It is overgrown with Mint, and other little weeds that need pulling.

Friday my Mother in law surprised me with a new plant for the indoors. I love the deep dark purple of the Orchid. It was such a sweet surprise.

The Orchid looks pretty happy in the indoor garden too.

What about you… What are you growing in your indoor or outdoor Summer garden?
