I wish the garden really were as cool and inviting as this picture makes it look. But it isn&#8217;t. I took this shot of the oxblood lilies about 10 on Saturday morning. It was only in the mid-80s, but very muggy&#8211;the kind of summer weather that makes you retreat inside to a cold lemonade. I had just mown the lawn the night before, and with our rain last week it&#8217;s greened up. But the telephoto lens compresses the focus, making tha garden seem more compact and comely than it is.<\/p>\n<p>My neighbor&#8217;s yard is a mass of lantana right now and I benefit because the butterflies it attracts wander over to my yard. They seem fond of the garlic chives. I have some lantana, too. But I have too much shade to suit it and it rarely blooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/photos\/320\/20040918_RhodophialaBifida.jpg\" alt=\"Zanthan Gardens 2004-09-18\" width=\"320px\" \/><br \/>2004-09-18.
