The unknown flower I posted about here is now beginning to bloom. Suddenly and without warning IT HIT ME! It is bee balm and here are a couple of pics. In the next few days the flowers should open completely and I'll do my best to remember to post a pic. It's a very pretty bloom!


These are the two containers I planted a few weeks ago. The first is on the chair by the front door. Just LOOK at that licorice plant! It is going to take over the entire porch, I'm afraid! ;)

This one was moved to the side porch, by my rocking chairs. It is filling out nicely, too and has been blooming profusely.

And here are some lilies by the front porch. I LOVE these things. I have them planted by all the fence posts in the backyard, too.
