I just returned from Alaska - which has the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen - because they get 18 hours of sunlight a day.

These was taken at a bus stop.

B4-E7766-D-82-EB-4192-AE67-E96-B45-BF3-C1-A-1-105-c

5-FA781-CB-13-D3-40-A4-948-A-6472-D4464-C9-E-1-105-c

Locals told us the sun sets at 2:30 in the winter! So the season is short-lived.

These are from my own garden:

Hibiscus:

Canna Lilies

C4-A9919-F-FD5-D-47-F1-8-A50-DF308-E0131-C1-1-105-c

And my pineapple lily - much smaller than usual this year:

C01-F571-C-397-B-47-F7-BB40-2351-AF9-CD2-B5-1-105-c

And, my helpers!

Beautiful flowers all the way around.

The cat doesn’t look like he’s winning that argument - or maybe it’s just too hot to care? :)
