Summer flowers are showing off this week

• The dahlias are demanding all the attention

  • They seem to be loving the heat and are getting much taller and they are in a variety of colors: light pink, dark pink, salmon, yellow, burgundy, deep red, and white

• The zinnias are a beautiful salmon-peach color

  • Benary zinnias offer a full flower head with a large size

  • Oklahoma zinnias have smaller flower heads and more of a rounded/ball shape

• The Rudbeckia Indian Summer is masquerading as a sunflower

  • They have the most beautiful yellow-gold petals with a dark black center

  • Their flower heads range from 3” - 6” which is why some people mistake them for sunflowers

• The statice is shy but sweet

  • These come in a light purple and a purple-pink colors

  • They are dainty but add that something special to an arrangement

• The eucalyptus tried to leave over the winter but couldn’t stay away

  • The cold snaps we had this winter killed back all of the above-ground growth but these girls are made of tuff stuff because they came back stronger than ever

  • We have the most recognized Silver Dollar along with the dainty Baby Blue

• The lisianthus decided they want to show off

  • They like a cool start but then thrive in the heat of summer

  • Ours are blooming in various shades of light and dark purple, and a deep rose shade

• The hypericum berries are standing tall among the crowd

  • The start with bright yellow flowers about the size of a nickel and then produce the cutest peachy-orange berries

• The basil is trying to join the show

  • Lemon basil adds both beautiful greenery as well as a magnificent lemon sent . . . always a big hit

  • Cinnamon basil has made a first-time appearance and we are waiting to see just how cinnamon-y her scent will be
