The extremely hot weather here at Home Farm in Munfordville , KY this June does not do much for the garden except encourage the weeds to flourish. However, when I keep watering we get beautiful rewards such as I found today when I took a stroll through some of my gardens.
The containers of lilies are doing their stuff.
The Gladiolas in the past three days are showing their faces even the ones by our ponds which we have turned off in order to conserve water. The lilies in the background are a mass of color straight across a 2 by 6 foot area

On the shade side of the house all the Hostas are starting to bloom and the Echinacea are all over the place showing their beautiful faces.
It seems like each and every day something new appears and today I was able to bring in a small bouquet of Queen Ann's Lace, Sweet Peas and some small yellow perennials that I never can remember the name of.

The Black eye Susan is prolific this season.
However, today' stroll was really a day for the Echinacea and now matter where I looked they attracted many butterflies. I am not a good photographer, but I received two wonderful rewards today when I was able to capture two of Echinacea's visitors.
Can you see the blue butterflies?
Stop by the next time you are in our neighborhood and take a stroll through our garden.
"Tread the Earth Lightly" and in the meantime... May your day be filled with...
Peace, Light and Love,
