All five lilies on the one stem finally bloomed. Quite a nice array.

White Lily
This is the first lily to bloom in our oriental lily garden. Although I think it may be one of the Easter lilies I planted a couple of years ago.
Desert Flowers at Desert Harbor
Here are a variety of the desert flowers, grasses and cactus that were blooming at Desert Harbor Retreat.
Ducks In A Row
Following the ducks is a bit of “macro madness” — I found various interesting critters in the iris and roses. While I was out moving hoses to hook up drip systems, this female mallard hopped up on the neighbor’s wall. Then she hopped back down, and I could hear her making little quacking noises. When I looked over the wall, she was marching off with four ducklings in a row behind her.
Pink Peonies on Parade
We had several thunderstorms move through yesterday, including a heavy hailstorm. When I got home, Laurie told me the pink peony had bloomed and ask me to go out and see if the flowers survived the hailstorm. Many of the blooms were a little beaten down, but they survived the storm. I couldn’t resist photographing the wet roses while I was out, and I ended up pretty wet myself.

Fourth of July on a Morning in May
Even with frost damage and aphids, our roses are looking pretty good.
Lady Larva and a Rose
Our roses are starting to bloom and the ladybug larvae are working on the aphids.
