Summer Ramblings - Multi Colors
Most flowers have multiple colors in them. Nature knows just how to design a flower.
A new one for me - Alcea Rosea "Halo Blush" - a single hollyhock. (Grateful they left the label in the ground).
Yarrow. It comes in several colors - this one is pink and white.
Our pansies are rapidly disappearing in the heat, but this is what one of my baskets looked like, back in June.
And a begonia plant in the last of the sunshine of the setting sun.

So so so pretty and axing to look at. I'm a water conservationist :-) here in the scorched earth of Texas. I've got no color outside my window
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that. I hope conditions improve for you.
DeleteI am useless when it comes to growing flowers but I always appreciate a beautiful bloom - especially pink - so these were lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love to take pictures of flowers in season. It's too short a season here.
DeleteI didn't realize that those bunches of small flowers were yarrow.
ReplyDeleteYarrow is more commonly yellow or even white, but there are ornamental pink varieties, and they are all so pretty.
DeleteLOVELY. Thank you for starting off my morning so brightly!
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure!
DeleteI never get tired of taking photos of flowers. They look different at every time of day, don't they?
ReplyDeleteYes, they do - sunlight changes as the hours progress and each hour has its use for the skilled photographer (which, I add, I am not).
DeleteLovely pics!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThese flowers provide the lull between Dominion Day, Independence Day, and Brittain's 7/7 day
ReplyDeleteThanks. And I'm not even commemorating 7/7 day on my blog. Shameful.
DeleteOh, I love Alcea of all kinds, especially the old-fashioned Hollyhocks. I no longer grow them, though, because of problems with rust.
ReplyDeleteI've never grown hollyhocks. I wonder if the improved varieties are resistant to rust. It's so sad when a flowering plant gets a disease.
DeleteI always like your flower photos
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNature in all its wonder...
ReplyDeleteYes, so wonderful to see.
DeleteLove the looks of that hollyhock.
