The Garden Is Winding Down:

That's the very last pink Asian lily dying on the vine:



And here's the very last of any of the Asian lilies, which concludes the flower beds on that entire side of the house.



The carnations which I thought wouldn't bloom at all actually did on their first year out:



Far more than I expected them to do.



The Red Perennial Garden was a great success its first year out,although you can tell I cheated a couple weeks ago and only weeded the side that shows from the road.
