Summer Flowers Finally Starting

I've had some computer problems over the past week but I think they're finally sorted out. Here's a photo overview of what's flowering now.

Beautiful double (or triple?) daylily from Terry:




Another that came with the house:


Mini Kordana rose from Terry. She actually gave me a pot of these after my surgery back in January. They were full of flowers then. I cut them back when they were done blooming and managed to keep them alive over the winter. There were 4 separate plants and 2 have made it. I'm really excited since I've read they are difficult to keep alive indoors. This is a nice peach/pink:


The Gazania are really putting on a show now:


I wish this picture captured the colors better:


Coreopsis in full swing and a glimpse of cottage garden style? Maybe?


Goldrausch Daisies are floppy after our rain this weekend. This was before the storms:


First flower on Phlox Laura:


Stoke's Aster (stokesia). This is the first time the plant has bloomed since we moved here:


Limelight Hydrangea has begun blooming. I expect a nice long show out of this awesome shrub!


Monarda and echinacea just starting up in the pool bed:


My surprise pumpkin patch. I transplanted some hollyhock seedlings to this area a couple of months ago, and these plants popped up. I just assumed they were more hollyhocks until they started flowering this week. I'm almost positive they are pumpkins! I had thrown some rotting pumpkins in this area last fall and let them decompose. Apparently some of the seeds liked the area. My plan is to move them someplace where they can sprawl, probably the dog's pen. Hopefully he won't destroy them. They may be too early, but it would be great to get some actual pumpkins growing!
