Those nice bright colors

I got a very late start with the flower garden this year, but the flowers seem to be catching up, despite all the dry, hot weather! Last year's crested celosia and statice were an epic fail, but this year's plants seem to be doing much better. And for my money no zinnia beats the "Cut and Come Again" variety for arrangements, but for some reason it's getting really hard to track down.

  1. You grew these? They are very lovely. It's a good thing you didn't give up so easily on gardening. Not like I did. They look like they smell really good from here.

  2. Thank you! Yes, these are all from my garden. The only thing that has a scent is the snapdragons -- but yes, they smell like heaven!
    As far as giving up on a garden: my next-door neighbor is a former state secretary of agriculture. That is never an option!
