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.

Blooming This Week ~ Pinks & Purples in my Garden



Despite the lack of rain and hot, H-O-T days, my garden is full of blooms! 

This is the time of summer when my garden is filled with pinks and purples.

Yum!




Coneflowers thrive in hot dry weather.



Can you smell the heavenly scent of this stargazer lily?

Yep, that's my black concrete kitty peeking from behind!




A purple & white Laura tall phlox.




Wish I knew where to find the lavender honey this bee is gathering nectar for!

Tiny bicolor eggplant in the garden.





Love the hints of yellow in this pink gladiola!




Early morning rays of sun hit the top of this bed of coneflowers and barberry.
