Summer Flowers

The flowers we planted this spring

have really enjoyed all the rain and cooler temperatures.

I went out this evening and took a few photos to share.

This is the "sun bed" I reclaimed from the non-blooming iris.

I planted Indian Blanket Flowers, white coneflower, rosemary,

penta, zinnias, and moss rose. I like it so much,

I'm going to put a similar bed on the other side of the driveway next spring.

This is a single red gerber daisy I planted in a pot of ivy 

at my garage. I love the bright red color against the green.

And marigolds along the driveway really take the heat.

I also have impatiens planted in front of the house

but those photos didn't turn out very well. 

Tomorrow, I'll share some images from the side and back of the house--

those are my favorites.
