    An overview of the front garden. I'm going for a cottage garden feel, may eventually introduce a picket fence.

        @Bernard I used an online plant identification tool to see if we can figure out what that flower is; it's quite lovely.

        Actually, I tried two. The first one identified your mystery plant as a phalaenopsis orchid. Um, I don't think so.

        Tried a second site and it came up with Lindheimer's beeblossom.

        https://www.picturethisai.com/wiki/Oenothera_lindheimeri.html

        Here's another site with more pictures, including of the foliage.

        Looks like a possibility to me. What do you think?

              How about no bloom scrolling?

              Deer at all of the flowers and buds off of my daylilies. They even ate the ones I brought home in my suitcase after I visited Lilylady. The fancy double yellow ones.

                Thanks, wtg. Sadly, it looks like it's not hardy here. Bummer. Pretty while it lasts, though.

                  May I add foodscrolling to this thread?

                  Red currants. Didn't get a pic of the gooseberries before we made them into jam. Yields on the berries not as good as last year, but we still ended up with more than enough jam.

                  Starting to harvest a few things. The burpless cuke, a couple of Campari-type tomatoes ('Sweet Cluster'), and a weird striped pepper. The leaves on the plant are variegated, as are the peppers. A pepper left to grow for a while turned deep purple-red.

                    @Steve-Miller grrr. No deer here, but rabbits sheared all the leaves off my new serviceberry before I even got it planted. I put a hardware tube around it and it has recovered nicely, so I think it is safe to plant this weekend.

                    In the meantime, I got my first daylily bloom of the year today. This also came from lilylady. It's called 'Mustard and Relish', and it is the tallest of my three varieties (all from her gardens).

                          They love serviceberry bushes. I have one in a side yard that I finally cordoned off so that no wascally wabbits could get in. I have raspberry bushes in there, a rose, and a bunch of coral bells. All things they love to eat.

                          The raspberry canes are the real puzzler. If I don't protect the bushes the rabbits will eat all the canes down to the ground during the winter. Those canes have little prickly thornettes that are a real nuisance. I cannot imagine how they can chew up the canes and swallow them. But they do.

                            My black raspberries are in the back yard where the dogs hang out, so the rabbits don't bother them there. Honestly, they are out of control and need a good pruning.
