Blooming This Week ~ Pink Porch Flowers




This year I decided to use only pink flowers on my front porch

I also thought I would use pink annuals in the flower bed across the front of the house.

It's now well into summer and I must admit I've had mixed results.

The porch...



Its pink but not PINK!




Eh...





The impatiens baskets have the largest flowers I've ever seen and still not much impact.



I plant these bacopa every year, usually in white, and they always look so straggly. 

The pink is so pale they might as well be white. 

Next year I will try something different in these clay pots.



The bed of pink impatiens I planted across the front of the house is struggling in the heat and drought. 

Eh...

Maybe something new next year...?



This is my favorite every year no matter what I plant in it.




Guard kitty is always on guard.

  5. What a lovely, inviting porch you have! It looks like a great place to relax! I lost every one of my impatience this year, a disease got them. I was so sad.
