Pretty, Pretty Petunias

 

 

This has been an unusual summer in the Midwest. Usually by August, the flowers are struggling to continue to bloom in the heat and dry weather. Especially the petunias - they tend to get leggy and stop giving new blooms at the end of the summer.


But this year has been different. These beautiful flowers are still showing off their frilly blossoms with abandon and they love all the rain and cool temperatures we have been experiencing. They are such a happy splash of color in my garden and can be found in pots here and there too.
 

I know the blooming days are coming to a close, and look forward to the fall blooms ahead, but these mild summer days have given us the gift an extended season of these pretty, pretty petunias.

I am listening to more, early morning rain, as I write this post - the flowers will be happy today :-)

Happy Wednesday!

  4. They are beautiful. Our flowers struggled this year with TOO much water! Looking forward to planting pansies in the fall.
