I have only a few different Hemerocallis and no abundant plantings of them.
I have donated all my Hemerocallis fulva to daughter & daughter-in-law.
This very dark brown is 'Sweet Hot Chocolate’, 'Frans Hals' behind.
This might be ’Sammy Russel’ - I have got it on a plant swap.
I love this the most, it is very beautiful in the sun.
Then I have this ’Destined to See’. It looks so lovely in the photo,
but so faded and ugly in my garden. Photo from here.
Bumblebees like also Veroniga virginica ’Alba’.
BEST BOOKS OF JULY
Best international books I red were Cien Años de Soledad by Gabriel García Márquez
- finally! And Beth Kempton’s Wabi-Sabi.
Right now I’m reading Alex Michaelides’ debut Silent Patient.
The protagonists are Alicia who shoots her husband and then never speaks another word
and psychotherapist Theo who is convinced he can successfully treat Alicia,
where all others have failed. If Alicia speaks, would he want to hear the truth?
Have you read any of these?
Wishing you all a colourful August!

VastaaPoistaDearest Riitta; I truly admire and loved your gorgeous "colorful August"♧♧♧ Lilly makes me imagine mainly pink p;)
VastaaPoistaLove the sweet arrangement of your first picture of Sweet Hot Chocolate color one with Frans Hals♬ I was so attracted by the ”Destined to See” I tried to know the Japanese name, but I only could find the direct transportation as a phrase p-;) Picture Page showed me the variety of them♡♡♡ Thank you very much for your beautiful summer color.
Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Dear Riitta,
VastaaPoistaI like lilies very much. They are grateful and beautiful flowers. The colours you show are simply wonderful and very unusual.
Have a good start into a sunny and pleasant weekend,

Riitta - gorgeous flowers to welcome us to August. I have not read any of the books you mention. I am such a slow reader in the summer since there are so many other things that I like to do! Thanks for hosting Friday Bliss!
