That last flower is a new flower for me. I think it may be called a misty blue...something. Its leaves are super fine and when grown in a clump ... it does look misty when the flowers open with white and blue. I will grow these next year in a better spot. Thanks!
That is actually part of a bouquet I put on the counter with several Queen Anne's Lace flowers. I am surprised at how long they all have lasted! Thank you!
My zinnias are not great this year, but the blue and pink cosmos I collected from last year is going gang busters! One section of the garden did really well with forget me nots and Borage...however they are all wind blown and look like a disaster. The bees don't mind and I guess I don't either. Got any pics to share with us???? Please?
I will share some recent iphone flower snaps :) Nothing creative. Just documenting these daze. Haven't used my big camera since I don't know, what month. Very sad, but true. Between the skeeters and...
Great minds think alike... mine are just coming on now, sure has been a cold summer here so far. I love that blue flower, it is so hard to get a truly blue flower.
Well, when my world is confined right now to being near enough to hear hubby call out or him ring a bell, it makes sense to make good use of the garden and practice some photo skills. Thanks!
LD...It is fun to just make a gallery of shots of all the beauty that blooms during the season. You captured some great shots. I had my first morning glory bloom yesterday but didn't get a shot, I forgot to go get it.
Gorgeous! I especially like how you captured the light in the last one.

DeleteBeautifully captured!! Light & dewiness is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason many of my returning self/collected/newly seeded annuals did not take. Thankfully, I do have a lot of blooming perennials.
Thanks for sharing your cheery blooms :)

ReplyDeleteI do love the blue flowers! The misty ones have some faded blues in them, but the Borage and the Forget me nots have true blue which I adore.
DeleteA wonderful variety of blooms. Beautifully photographed!
