Flowers in my yard

Here are pictures of flowers blooming in my yard this summer.





Across the back fence in the backyard I planted these shrubs about 4 years ago when they were no more than 3 feet high. They are a type of hydrangea. In late June, early July they have large white blooms on them which gradually turn pink. I am pleased with the way they have grown and given me a beautiful privacy barrier. Along the east side of my backyard, I have six lilac bushes, all different varieties, which really grew fast. In May, they are covered with big beautiful blooms. They were planted the year after these hydrangeas.




Under the big tree in the front yard, I always plant red and white impatiens. These haven't grown as well this year as in previous years. But they are still pretty.




These are my black-eyed susans out front. The coneflowers are a little past peak.
