Wide Array of Colors

There are so many different flowers and so many different colors, but I always find myself leaning towards the pinks and purples. I guess they are some of my favorite colors. Here are some more of my flowers that are in bloom.
I don't normally have alot of annuals, but when I do, I tend to lean towards good old petunias. They are easy to grow and they come in a wide array of colors. Isn't this one so pretty?
Here is my cat mint that is in full bloom. I love this stuff!! If it blooms, then you cut it back and it will come right back. You don't need to worry about cutting it back and then having it come back next year...... it normally grows back rather quickly! You constantly have color and I like it because it is rather tall. Perfect for covering up those unsightly gas meters on the side of your home.
I just planted this lavender this year. It is right next to my cat mint, but like I have said several times "I love purple and they are both different shades". Isn't it pretty?

Summer Accents for the Garden

This little mushroom is the perfect accent for any garden. Don't you just love it? It also holds a little bit of water so the birds can stop by for a drink.
This hypertufa is perfect for planting flowers in and don't you just love the impression of the sunflower in the bottom? Great for adding a special little somthing to your porch.
