I was outside this morning at 7 A.M. to wander around with my camera.
During the gardening season, wonderful changes can happen overnight.
I took photos just after 7, again about 9:30 and finally about 10:45 A.M.
The magnolia tree. A waxy bloom on the shady side of the tree.
The same blossom at 9:30.
This blossom was so fragrant. Not cloyingly sweet as I had expected, but with a clean lemony scent.
Insects had found the rapidly opening blossom.
Close-up at 10:45.
The slightest touch loosened the stamens.
{Think I have that correct.}
Yellow Simplicity rose in the morning shade of the maples.
Opening to morning sun.
I am really pleased with this rose!
A bloom that has widened its petals to the late morning sunlight.
Close-up. These are very delicately scented.
At about this time the UPS truck arrived with what had better be my last plant order for this season.
I got most of the new plants in the ground before a thunderstorm broke at suppertime.
