July Front Yard

Happy Fourth of July! Daisies are not officially a native plant, but they're in my native plant garden because the bees love them.

The butterfly weed and coreopsis are blooming. Below is a close up of the butterfly weed. The photo doesn't do justice to the color's bright cheeriness.

Here's an overview of the area. There's some creeping thyme in the lawn. Please ignore the weeds. Or embrace them. 

There is a begonia in each shady front pot, transplanted from my winter windowsill. They were nibbled by rabbits and recovered, though they're small right now. The impatiens were not doing so well, so I added torenia plants. Now they look fuller.
