Flowers Finally!

The cosmos in the garden and zinnias by the mailbox are finally flowering.  I planted them from seed late this spring since the ground was soggy and cold.  This is the latest for my garden that the flowers are looking good. 

The zinnias in pots have been looking terrific since I could control the moisture and temperature and planted the seeds earlier than the others. This is Zowie Zinnia, planted in three pots that border my garden. In pots by the front of the house I had planned on impatiens, but when they died, I replanted with red geraniums.  It's a little shady for them, but they look great.  I hope for a late, late frost so I can enjoy these beautiful blooms a long time.
