On July 29, there was Grand Masterpiece and Trahlyta. I only had time to rush around the garden with my iPhone to try and get some photos, since I was very busy that day.

Also, on July 29 it rained most of the day, and that's not great for a lot of the more tender daylilies. However, the rain does bring out the dark colouring in purple daylilies, so Darkside looked great.

And the overall view of the backyard daylily bed didn't suffer at all.

July 30 was great weather, sunny and bright, a gorgeous day for a beautiful first bloom from Catherine Woodbury. I was able to get out with my camera and capture some better photos.

Luckily, after an appalling first bloom from Night Beacon, I was able to get a photo of a better second bloom.

Of course "better" is a relative term. Then not far away I found that Black-Eyed Susan had bloomed with two polytepalous flowers, so I recorded that.

And finally, purple coneflower (Echinacea) is just coming into its glory. Here is a very, very tall one. I'm pretty sure it's 'Magnus' (which would make sense).
