So pretty! :-)
I try to have plenty of flowers in/around the garden. I started with marigolds with my first raised beds & usually had them almost every year since. I didn’t do marigolds last year - had 2 beds of zinnias for color. A couple of years ago, I had morning glories and Cardinal vine .... never again LOL! I think it took me a day to unwrap all the vines off the trellises & my fencing.
This year, I have 5 dahlia bushes, a bed of zinnias, a bed of hollyhocks (that won’t bloom this year - boo hoo), some snap dragons in the very front of the hollyhocks & a bed of volunteer sunflowers. I’m going to add some Teddy Bear sunflowers to the volunteers. One of the volunteers is going to be a giant sunflower ... already bigger than the rest.
My two hydrangeas I transplanted early spring are doing great & I noticed just today they are getting blooms!
Mom has her own flower beds with Black-eyed Susans, Echinacea & Blanket flowers. She has chrysanthemums for the fall, tulips/daffodils for the spring along with 3 camellia bushes. Dad loved flowers so she was always planting whatever he bought & brought home.
