First blooms for Tani, early this morning. Not fully open but I didn't want to lose the chance to get a photo in light of the way balls fly through my backyard! I love the white stripes...

Just a campanula nodding in the breeze that made me happy this morning as well. There are so many but they have been beaten down by the rain. This one however was almost upright...
I am waiting for Siloam Royal Prince to bloom, having thought he would do so today. Condilla is close, Catherine Woodbury, Siloam Ury Winniford, and Mardi Gras Parade all have buds. I'm hoping that they don't bloom while I am away next week and cause me to miss what I have been waiting for! Chorus Line, Daring Dilemna and Bourbon King have shown no sign of performing at all! Last year on the second of August Chorus Line was blooming nicely. Not sure why this year she is empty. Disappointing I must say. Pardon Me didn't bloom last year and sadly this year is no different. Off I go to cheer them on. I really need to overhaul the back gardens to make room for more daylilies and a tree as the one on our neighbours side of the fence has died. Granted I get much more sun, but have lost so much privacy which I value immensley! Plans are in the works but the implementation is the challenge.
