Happy Pretty Wednesday, My Lovelies! Although I'm terribly distressed that I missed going to my art class today due to my dental appointment, at least I'm feeling a little better.
Some of you asked me what I replaced the horrible white geraniums with, and the answer is: Zinnias
Zinnias are quickly becoming my favorite flower.
Mr. Art @ Home bought me a few at the Pepper Place Market over the weekend, and I must say they are growing on me....well, not literally, but I am liking them a little more everyday!

Here are the zinnias we planted in pots on our patio:
I want to plant zinnias in our flower beds next year. I like these two varieties from the Hudson Valley Seed Library.
I love the pretty Polar Bear Zinnias
Pumila Mix Zinnias
What's your favorite summertime flower?
Until next time...
Blessings!

I have had the best luck with zinnias planted from seeds. They bloom prolifically and I cut them for jars all the time.
ReplyDeleteZinnias are very hardy and you should see a lot of butterflies too! Good choice.
ReplyDeleteZinnias are one of my favorite summer flowers, and I plant ours from seed, thus getting a wide variety. One favorite is Purple Prince zinnia, others are heirloom Whirligig mix in subtle colors and Button Box mix, all from Lake Valley Seed. Your photos show beautiful zinnias.

So pretty…I love summer daisies!
ReplyDeleteI love zinnias. Back in the day I belonged to a Community Farm and each week we were allowed to pick a certain number of stems. I loved the zinnias and globe amaranth. Whenever I see these flowers it brings back old memories of summer and young motherhood.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Hoping that you feel much better yet.
I think my favorite too...yours are lovely!
ReplyDelete*Prettttyyy* They look like daisies, but more colorful!!
ReplyDeleteYour zinnias are quite lovely, they look happy! Can flowers be happy? I don't see why not, anyway they made me smile!
ReplyDeleteYour zinnias are so pretty! They're probably my favorite summer flower. They're so happy!
ReplyDeleteI need to replace our rhodedendrums (the former owners did not plan for space, at all!) and our dying Asian lily. Zinnias look like just the thing to plant! I love how colorful and bright they are.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a green thumb. I've never had good luck growing zinnias, but after seeing yours I want to try again. These are beautiful, and I love the idea of having them for cut flowers in the house.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. I hope your tooth feels much better soon! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon.
I love Zinnias too. I have some blooming in our garden. I also like Sunflowers.

Love zinnia's, and they play so nicely in our summer heat.
ReplyDeleteZinnias are so cheery! Every summer I tell myself I'm going to plant some but forget to. I'm lovin' Limelight hydrangea lately. We just planted 3 more shrubs, now to keep them watered .:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and what a nice variety of colors too!
