    Hydrangeas are coloring in. Not so many flower heads this year, as in the past.

    Deer like them too. I have a big section that has not bloomed yet. Haven't hit peak on these beds yet.

    Double petal day lilies behind the hydrangea (which for once didn’t get burned up by late frosts this spring)...
