Beautiful blooms...I'm always a fan of Echinacea...and those Profusion Zinnias...WOW...I really have to find a spot for them next year :-)
ReplyDeleteAll looking wonderfully fresh despite the heat.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so beautiful blooming under the sun!
ReplyDeleteThank you... it was the perfect morning for taking pics. The bright colors were a joy to photograph.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see all these intense blooms in August...I usually would but not this year so I love seeing them here.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about Blotanical... there is always a blog somewhere in the world to cheer us. Praying for rain for you my dear.
ReplyDeleteI do love all those hot colors. 'Hot Papaya' is looking spectacular.
ReplyDelete'Hot Papaya' is new in my gardens this year... and I'm lovin' it!
ReplyDeleteEasy Livin' Rose.....That's the One! Beautiful! I need to find that rose. Thanks for posting such vibrant pics.
ReplyDeleteFunny, Dave. That rose was picked by one of my sons who is the epitome of enjoying life. I think of him every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteI love all those hot colors in your hot season garden. -Jean
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your hot blooms, especially the orange begonia! I planted a double daisy this year and found that the butterflies are not as fond of them as the single blooms. Have you had that experience with your coneflowers?
ReplyDeleteI do love those begonias... but so do the snails! I have to be vigilant on my snail hunt each morning to keep them beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose hot colors surely do scream "August," don't they? And they are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I chose to highlight the bright colors in my gardens for this post for that very reason.
ReplyDeleteWell, Hot Papaya looks right at home with all those other vivid flowers! Even though they aren't so good for the butterflies, I really like the double forms. RE your zinnias - this year we've been especially impressed with the Double Cherry Profusion zinnias. Very prolific.
ReplyDeleteMagnifique fleurs et photos.
