    Dear, oh dear, oh dear....just look at your lovely little flowers.
    Isn't that zinnia a lovely thing? The cosmos looks good as well. I have a few of those this year and they are just beginning to bloom now.
    I took some pics, but I shall post them later on.

    Actually ALL your pics are very prtetty to see.

    My cosmos are not doing that well this year...I don't know what happened to all of the seed I planted????some where in the neighbors lawn maybe? The only ones doing better are the orange ones..I am thinking I got some old seed from the others and most didn't grow..

    I love zinnias but haven't grown them for so many years and I wanted to attract butterflys to the yard...I love looking out the windows and seeing the butterflys on the flowers..

    What gorgeous Zinnias. I don't usually like pink flowers much but yours is so beautiful with the different coloured centre that I'd make room for it in my garden!! :-D

    Lovely blooms Sherry. I love the Zinnia photo. I am really starting to love Zinnia's...they bloom like crazy all summer, make great cut flowers and the deer and bunnies won't eat them :)

    I raised some Cosmea from seed at home on the windowsill then planted them out. When Droopy was here they were about shin-high.....now they are about up to my collarbones and just now beginning to bloom.
    It's strange that yours do so poorly, and the few that I planted are growing as never before.

    Lovely colour. :D Your daylily is very pretty with that red in the bottom. We get to see some daylilies too this year. Last year only the old, hardy yellow one bloomed.

    Your flowers are so pretty. I also like the cosmo. Mine are just coming out too. Your daylily is differant then what I see, I do like that red in the middle of the flower. Great show.
