The neighbors' flowers

 I found this nice setting in a different building than mine. There are five parallel buildings on the steep hill, with eight units in each one. Upstairs four open on the uphill side of the building, while downstairs four open downhill. It provides a sense of privacy that isn't possible in the other buildings with indoor halls to each apartment.





These are the last of the day lilies...

My four-o'clocks became food for Japanese beetles last week. So I sprayed them with garlic and soapy water. Then I read that they will be killed by eating four-o'clocks. So maybe the flowers will survive after all.

 While my courtyard has a few trees, the one uphill from me is mainly a wide open space.

The day lily beds were doing quite well.

    1. Our outdoor sitting areas are what I'd call a handkerchief patio. The space is just outside these bedroom windows...and obviously you don't want to sit outside a neighbor's bedroom. I'm very fortunate to have a bigger front porch, while having the tiny balcony.

    2. However, these chairs do indicate sitting under a neighbor's bedroom window. Oh well.
