What's Blooming

The yard was very active while we were gone.  

 My Easter Lilies are almost done blooming.  They have a very sweet smell.

 I love the blue color of the balloon flower.  It's not a very big plant but the color is a stand out.

 I can't remember the common name for this purple flower, but it's regular name is Liatris.

 The cone flowers are in full bloom now.  They should bloom until frost.

 J's aunt and uncle brought us this different variety of cone flower.  It's a little redder with thinner pedals.

 This variety of allium is very cute.  It's called Drumstick.

And I know this isn't a flower but it's the first time that I've tried planing an elephant ear.  It makes a very nice patio plant.
