Day One Hundred Eighty Four

Neil entered the jungle (our back yard) this
afternoon and began pulling out vegetation that,
in a perfect world, should not thrive here.

He uncovered these awesome white day lilies that were
being strangled by all the vines. They smell like perfume!
Pictures don't do them justice.

The pollen on these flowers is like dark orange velvet.
I can't get over how heavenly they smell.

Also released from their captivity among the weeds are
purple cone flowers that have already seen better days but
still worthy of a snapshot none the less.

This red gladiola is growing along the edge of
the jungle. There are others that need to be
uncovered soon or they're not going to make
it.
