Deb Simons has so many beautiful flowers growing in her Lake Linden garden, I just had to revisit her blooms this week again. I’m amazed at all the different array of colors sprouted around her yard, not to mention the work that goes into planting these beauties and of course the weeding that has to be done, too. Deb has Vibrant Orange, White/Pink and just plain pink Asiatic Lilies, along with a flower that Google said is a Blue Balloon, but I think my favorite today is the second photo, a Rosy Red Daylily. It just looks so fancy with the curled edges and that brilliant color. I love it! What a joy it is to have so much beauty in nature all around us each day.
Now, Visit Keweenaw takes us for a look at the Quincy Mine, for peak views and past lives in the history of this mine at the top of Hancock. Amanda says that no trip on the Copper Country Trail National Byway is complete without a stop at the Quincy Mine. Check it out...

These flowers are mostly still going with the hydrangeas really coming along now too. Won't be long for the cosmos either. I planted a lot of hollyhock seeds last year, but only one has cone up. It's sad to see so many flowers dying off already. I swear summer just started.

Those are all so beautiful! I remember a wedding reception a long time ago, they had Asiatic Lilies on the tables, and they got passed around for people to smell...the pollen stained some noses! lol
Awesome flowers Deb!
Great Video too! I love all the Keweenaw ones!

Simply gorgeous flowers! Deb, we love all the effort you put into these beauties, thanks for sharing! Nice video too, would be fun to wander the grounds at Quincy Mine, even if we skip the underground tour.

I love lilies, have a nice lily garden right in my front yard, however, every summer right around full bloom time, here comes the deer from across street and good bye lilies. Can't really blame them and after all, they were here first.
