With all those Lilies in your garden, I guess the scent must be really heavy! Are the blue flowers Gentians?
When I tried growing Lilies, I invited clouds of Lily beetles

Yes it does smell good out in the yard Tetters

I’m not sure about my little blue flowers, I planted them this spring .

I haven’t had any trouble with beetles yet

@Tetters ...or others...any help in Id of these two?

 

[Tetters]

The first one is Hymenocallis (spider lily) and I think the pink one looks like an Amaryllis - not 100% sure. If it is, it will be quite tall with a whorl of flowers in a circle... quite straight and upright.

I've never grown Crossandra. How does it fare in your very hot weather Meadowlark? Do these need shade and lots of water?

 

[Meadowlark]

Its a tropical so it thrives here. Lots of blooms through summer until fall. They do like indirect light and water couple times a week.

They are perennial here but annual farther north. I like the blooms as do the pollinators who really flock to this one.
