Someone asked, how many types of lilies are on the garden? The honest answer, is 'I don't know'! I love lilies, yes they have a short show off season, but brilliant! Usually they begin to bloom about the last week in July into the third week of August or so, sometimes earlier, and sometimes later, depending on the type of season they are experiencing. Many other flowers join in until freeze up in the fall, along with the flowers there are many berries on the hillside, ......Saskatoon's, cranberries, red currents, chokecherries, pin cherry's , nan-king cherry's ..........
The gardeners have placed an abundance of birdfeeders and birdhouses throughout the various walkways on the garden areas, making for a very active flittering here and there, and of course the music of the many residents.
