    I did take a couple of pictures of flowers that were not yellow.
    These impatients are pink.

    The begonias are red. Mr Gnome is admiring them.

    I like alyssum because they smell so good. I need to get dr to help me move them closer to the house.

    I had another picture but somehow it didn't get uploaded to photobucket so I'll post it another time. dooley

    Nice flowers! Mmm, I can almost smell the alyssums. I like to have them outside too, but they're only summer bloomers here. If we're lucky they self-seed.

    Nice looking flowers, Dooley. I really like Alyssums. To me they smell like Ceanothus. It is sort of like honey, to my nose.
    You've still got some nice blooms going there.

    Your bloomers are gorgeous! My mama loved impatients, and when she was alive, she planted them every year! Yours made me think of her, and how much joy they brought her. Your spread of alyssum is simply lovely. Thank you for sharing these with us.

    I think alyssums are a favourite of Stewers as they attract bees and butterflies and smell soooo good into the bargain. You still have so many lovely flowers on display Dooley. Most of mine have turned to brown mush because of all the rain we've had throughout the year. :(

    Dooley your flowers are still looking so good. So many others have turned 'up their toes', so to speak.

    Very pretty once again Dooley. My Impatiens did extremely lousy this year, I think due to the cold, wet summer we had.
    My Alyssum,on the other hand, did great!
    Go figure!
