Last fall my neighbor (thanks Pam!), who is as avid a gardener as I, harvested a bunch of zinnia seeds and gave me some, which I saved in a drawer in the garage. Since I have never had much luck with seeds in this area, I threw them into the window boxes that we have hanging off of the railings on the back deck while I was also planting some verbena. The other night I looked out the back door just as the sun was starting to go down, and this is what I saw.
A flash of red that was almost fluorescent...
...growing happily with the red annual verbena
in the same box...
...along with a limelight hydrangea bloom
hanging in front of the box over the railing...
I just love this entire mix-up of loveliness!...
Sometimes, when you least expect it,
beauty just hits you in the face!
I hope you are all well and having a beautiful summer!
