These exotic looking flowers come out for one day only. They are a bulb of some sort.

This is my favourite so far of the dahlia, such a pretty delicate pink

This gorgeous viola was among the 'mixed perennials' that Jim grew.
A pretty fuchsia which is growing in the acer bed.I also took a photo of the bed nearest the house, then found the same bed, taken in May!
It's pretty full now, but in May....
What a difference! How time flies.I do hope you've enjoyed a look at 'what's in bloom' at The Deenery today. The summer seems to be rushing by.
Happy Thursday everyone.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PHOTOS! I would be hard pressed to even pick a favorite. When you click on a picture and see the flower enlarged in all it's glory, every single one of them is beautiful.
I remember the smell of sweet peas from my grandmother's garden. Just lovely. Thanks again for sharing these wonderful photos. :)Bea
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed them Bea. Sweet peas are a delight. I'm going to cut some today and bring them inside. I've been waiting until I had enough. xx
What a stunning flower bed.
Thanks Rachel.
What a lot of lovely flowers!

Thanks Jason, short and sweet!!
Happy Thursday to you too, BT. I love the pale subtlety of those pansies amongst all the other blowsy flowers. You certainly have got a colourful garden, wish I could see it for real.
i always feel so happy when i see your array of beauties. there's an award for you on my blog today.
Simply gorgeous blooms. Isn't summer grand?? I absolutely love those purple sweet peas.
Your garden must be a picture Gina. I think those peach flowers from a bulb might be Trilium. The colours of the hydrangeas are just gorgeous and I love all the violas. What a change in just two months in the bed nearest the house. All your hard work has certainly paid off.
Oh Weaver, you must come and visit one day, when our never ending extension is finished! It's easy to hop on a plane to Shannon where we can pick you up.
So glad I cheer you up soul, not that you need it!! Oooh, an award. For me??? Whoopeee!
Summer is lovely indeed Lisa. I have picked some sweet peas to put on the table today. They smell divine.
Trilium, clever Heather. I did know once, but had forgotten. I must write it in my little book. Thank you. The garden does look lovely except for the sweet williams which are going over. Have to leave them to seed though.

Hey Gina, Thanks for the comments on my blog. I was hopeing to get the Lucifer Crocosmias but none to buy around here. I do see it around here doing pretty good. Thanks for the name Montbretia. Its on the tag but buried in the plant itself. I did know it spread which is why I wanted it. I need something to spread in the area around the double ruffled Shasta Daisies that will be dying out soon. I hope those Montbretias bloom well. You always have such fun flowers on your posts. Funny how you have the same flowers I posted. Soon I will be posting about a trip to the Animal Safari not far from us we went on yesterday. I felt like we went on an African Safari. :)
Hi Cris, your best bet is to knock on the doors of those with the lucifer and ask for a few bulbs after they've flowered!! I'm sure they'd oblige, I would. Did you notice the photo of the montbretia on this post? Bet you didn't!! They do bloom well and last quite a while too, plus they're a very pretty orange. Good luck with them.
HI.. Yes I did notice them on your blog, which is why I commented here. I did go up and ask the woman what the name of the plant was so Fair and I could go look for them. She did say they were spreading. Thanks for the idea to ask for the bulbs or cormes or what ever they are called.. :)
