Fireworks in the Garden

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Every year around this time, I'm struck by the way some of my perennials seem to put on their own fireworks show. I know that many actual fireworks displays are named for flowers, and at this time of the year, I can see why.

Here are a couple of photos I took last year around the 4th of July.

How about you? Any fireworks going off in your garden?
