I’ve been remiss in posting photos of flowers this year; actually I’ve been somewhat remiss in even taking photos of flowers this year. Our burgundy day lillies came into their own this season but it seems that they went entirely unphotographed. Oh well; they’ll be back next year. The star this year may be the hibiscus, which apparently benefitted from–or was at least undaunted by–its first pruning, which I did last fall. The younger pale-purple clematis also put on quite a show.
In any case, I just put a batch of flower photos on Flickr here, arranged in chronological order.

Is that a scuba tank?
It’s similar–it’s a tank for compressed gas of some sort.
Nice pictures, beautiful flowers!
