On this Fourth of July, in the year of Our Lord 2023, ProfessorRoush is going to let the pictures (mostly) speak for themselves. I went out to take just one photo of each color, hoping that I'd have anything blue blooming at all, and I was yet overwhelmed by the abundance of red, white, and blue in a garden now brimming over with oranges and yellows from the daylilies. Okay, I cheated a little on the blue since most of the species that are currently blooming with blue flowers are native plants; all weeds in my garden. My apologies to my British readers for the insufferable reminder of the loss of your colonies. Warning, picture heavy!

Not bad, eh? Not bad at all for a garden that currently is dominated by daylilies and looks like this everywhere:
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL!
