A perennial favorite, the cone flowers are blooming in the Shenandoah Valley. 
They are also a favorite with the bumble bees.
Yellow day lilies are blooming. Andre Viette's "Daylilly Festival" was last weekend with hundreds of varieties of the flower he calls the easiest to grow because they do not need constant maintenance. Also perennials, they come back year after year. As the bulbs multiply, they can be split and shared with friends.
Orange day lilies are beginning to fade.
Summer annuals keep blooming and blooming with the help of a little plant food and lots of watering....
After losing all the peaches to a late frost in 2007, the trees are loaded this year. The peaches are small ... but very sweet.
Hot summer days demand constant watering of summer annuals.
The wave petunias love the sun as long as they are watered daily.Photos by SWAC Girl
