colorful

They’re kind of red, kind of orange, maybe a dark coral.
Dahlias.

These photos are from earlier in the summer,
but I never got around to posting them.

There’s something about the faded colors.
They remind me of what? Peach nectar? My favorite sunset?
Maybe just a warm day.

Have a good weekend!

flowers

Back in May, when I went to the plant nursery, I viewed it much like a trip to the grocery store. Get in there, get what you need, and get out. If in doubt whether you need this or that, just get it, cause you’re not coming back in a few days. I’ve got coffee in stock for a couple of months. Well, I probably over-bought flowers this year. It’s not ridiculous, but sometimes I look out and think, you’ve got to straighten that out. If there’s something like flower clutter, I’m approaching that. But in a couple of months I’ll pull out the dead plants and put the pots away, and everything will be neat … and dreary. So for now, I’ll keep watering and enjoy the color.

Torenia, the wishbone flower.
This one reminds me to hold on to what’s left of summer.
Enjoy your Sunday.
