I can think of so many wonderfully colorful things, but the first thing that comes to mind is my lovely flower garden. Everything is finally in full bloom, and I am in my glory! Here are some photos I took for my other blog– but the gardens are so beautiful I thought I’d post them here. I just never get tired of looking at my gardens!
Here is a bloom from my coffee-fed Nikko Blue Hydrangea.
Here are my Stargazer Oriental Lilies. I love them so much.
Here’s a photo of one of the flower beds.
Ahhhhh. I love gardens!
How did your Photo Hunt go today?

August 16th, 2008 at 3:15 am
wow … such beautiful (and colorful) garden! lovely shots!
am envious … lol.
August 16th, 2008 at 3:17 am
That’s a beautiful plant and a great shot.
That Hydrangea looks great. I imagine the coffee keeps it blue, but how do you keep it so healthy? Mine has been limping along from year to year barely staying alive.
August 16th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I love hydrangas. Nothing prettier.
August 16th, 2008 at 10:04 am
You have such beautiful flowers. My absolute favorite are the stargazer lilies. Yours are amazing. You must spend a lot time on your garden. It truly shows how much you love them.
August 16th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Mother Nature makes the most beautiful colors! I dread winter when they all go away!
August 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Wow! Great colours!
I played too
August 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am

August 16th, 2008 at 10:54 am
I am so envious of anyone who can grow such gorgeous flowers. My thumb is so brown I can’t even keep cactus alive. Loved your photos so very “colorful”!
August 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am

August 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am

Have a great weekend.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Love the flowers. My youngest daughter used stargazer lilies in her wedding some 10 years ago. Every time I seem them I think of that wonderful day.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Beautiful flowers, that stargazer is huge!! Thanks for visiting.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:36 am

August 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Thanks for coming by my Photo Hunt. I love all your colourful flowers especially the lilies! They are my fave
August 16th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Coffee-fed!? I’m going to try that on my plants!! I love the lovely lilies!
August 16th, 2008 at 11:44 am
What a beautiful garden. I miss my lovely garden in Kent. Nothing much seems to grow in our present garden - The only negative thing about moving up here ;O)
August 16th, 2008 at 11:45 am
I love the names of some flowers. That looks like a wonderful garden to wander in. Great Photos.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:50 am
You have a wonderful colourful display - something to be proud of.
August 16th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Never heard about coffee-fed before..
Nikko Blue Hydrangea does have a smooth color..i like it.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
We’ve got the same lilies!
Coffee-fed?!
Very pretty and colourful.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Wowser!!! Beautiful flowers
Just been to the garden centre for some trellis, so I think I will post some garden photo’s next week.
I have been a fan of your blog for ages, especially since I will be in sort of your neck of the woods in September. So if you have noticed me lurking about, that’s why
August 16th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Just beautiful! Flowers are always the best for color.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I love the stargazer the most .. except that I always get my shirt stained

August 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Love those caffeine addicts of Nikko Blue Hydrangea!
August 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I envy you your flowers. I have a limited few, having had feasting in my garden by deer, rabbits, and armadillos. I think there are other things that go bump in the night as well, but I don’t go out and look.

August 16th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Your flowers are stunning! Very nicely shot.
Thanks for dropping by.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Great photos! I love flower photos.
Mine’s here!
August 16th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Gorgeous garden! I’m green with envy as I live in the desert and hardly anything blooms in the scorching summer months.
Have a fun weekend!

August 16th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
They’re all gorgeous, but I’m a goner for those lilies!
August 16th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Thank you for visiting my colourful flag post. Your flowers are certainly colourful as well. I see you are from Upstate New York. My husband was born and raised in Rome, but we now live in Coastal BC. He swore he wouldn’t live anywhere there was snow ever again, but here we are. At least our snow only lasts a few days before it melts. Much less shoveling. - Margy
August 16th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I love all of yours - flowers are my all-time favorites! If you have the time, take a look at my early July orchid photos in my archives for some of mine.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Ah yes, nothing quite like a colourful garden. The hydrangea is magnificent.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Your flowers are very colourful. Thanks for visiting my post of BC ferry flags.
August 16th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
What beautiful photos. I especially love the lilies.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Lovely! I’m a sucker for flowers, and these are beautiful.
Thanks for visiting my first Photo Hunt post, and for inviting me to share my link here.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Wow! Gorgeous garden. I love the palette of colors in that last shot.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Those are beautiful flowers. I wish I had a green thumb instead of the innate ability to kill everything I try to grow.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Beautiful! You have quite the green thumb.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Absolutely beautiful choices for the theme!!
August 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Gorgeous!!!! coffee grounds??
August 16th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
How lovely! Flowers are my favorite color-bearers.
August 16th, 2008 at 1:59 pm

August 16th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
you got some beautiful flowers there
August 16th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Wow your garden came out great! We’ve had so much rain here nothing’s growing good. I love the Blue Hydrangea. It’s also my Mom’s favorite! Thanks for stopping by mine
August 16th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Beautiful! I’ve never been overly successful with hydrangeas, but my mother’s were jaw-droppers. We feed our roses coffee grounds… when we can get them. No coffee drinkers here. 8-]
August 16th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Your gardens are beautiful…your photos are too. Sorry about the link screw up…,hit return too quick!
August 16th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Your flowers and garden are lovely! The hydrangea is just beautiful!
I’m growing hydrangea for the first time this year and mine is supposed to be pink but the blooms are coming out half pink/ half blue … very strange looking but still pretty in an odd sort of way. Guess I’ll have to decide which color I want and amend my soil.
August 16th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Lovely. Just stunning. Stargazers are one of my favorites, too, with their heavy, saturated, sweet smell.
Thanks for coming by & leaving some love for my “colorful” photos this week. Have a great weekend!

Lovely *and* colorful garden shots. The blue is gorgeous.
August 16th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Wow beautiful flowers, I love the Ajisai (top photo) a lot because blue is easy on the eyes and I love the lilies most!!!! Have a colorful week ahead!
August 16th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Ah … such lovely (and definitely colorful) flower photos!!! I love the Oriental lilies most … but they’re all beautiful and perfect for today’s theme. I enjoyed the COLORFUL theme so much this week that I participated twice: once this morning at SacredRuminations and the other at Small Reflections ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
August 16th, 2008 at 6:05 pm

The Hydrangea is really a huge and beautiful bloom!
I love Hydrangea but can’t seem to plant them well…*lol*
August 16th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Everything looks so perfect and healthy — and colorful! I adore hydrangeas, and I think that’s the nicest blue I’ve ever seen. Beautiful!
August 17th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Beautiful indeed.
August 17th, 2008 at 3:07 am

I never cared much for flowers when I was younger, but now I’m growing closer to nature somehow and can appreciate it so much more. I guess I’m getting calmer on the inside
August 17th, 2008 at 5:44 am

August 17th, 2008 at 5:53 am

August 17th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Wow! Glorious indeed! I wish I can see the entire garden… I bet they smell really nice! Hmm, how do you coffee feed your flowers?
August 17th, 2008 at 7:23 am
