☆ I Love Flags & Geraniums ☆


It is supposed to be hot and humid in Ohio this week. I'm not going to complain about it because before we know it summer will be over. This morning I went outside and took a few pictures of my favorite things.
This picture was taken walking out my front door. The geraniums are blooming, they didn't have any flowers on them a couple weeks ago.




This spring I started Lobelia from seed. The blue is so crisp, I just love them. The starts were so delicate but, they took off. I will definitely start them from seed again next year. The begonias that I planted with them are Vodka, they are a very nice bright red.

This picture is looking out my kitchen window. I have a window box outside our kitchen window. I really miss the flowers in the winter. I do put pines in the boxes in the winter but, it's not as good as flowers.
Thanks for stopping by have a nice evening!!

    Oh, those urns filled with geraniums are beautiful. I'm not sure why, but this is the first year I can ever remember that I didn't buy any red geraniums. I do miss them.
    Thanks for sharing!

  8. How lovely. I would love to sit and just relax in all that beauty!
    Don't you just love red geraniums?? Silly queston, obviously! I used them too this year - red white and purple scheme (good blues are hard to come by in the floral world).
    Thanks for sharing- I felt right at home looking at your lovely blog
