Treasures of this Summer!

My grand daughter, Eve sent me Dahlia's to plant.  These are the results!




My ever faithful hibiscus came back this year.  These blossoms are about 10 inches across, AND it gave me 4 seed pods, which usually doesn't happen...I can share them!!!



Eve taught me how to save my geraniums over the winter (supposed to be me teaching her, but she is
very good with these things) and this is the result.  My methods never worked.  She puts them in peat moss.



The glads made a great showing this year also.  In spite of my negligence, they were lovely.



Our ever faithful moon flowers came up again.  I was a bit concerned early in the season, there were
no signs of them, but eventually they popped up.  They are always in places that they are not wanted, but they win out, because I love them, and they are my true repeating friends.



There were a few odd petunias left over from one of the planters I did.  They turned out to be worth the save.



I am hoping these beauties come back next year.  I didn't get their name, but they bloomed and bloomed, all summer.  I bought them at a sale at Walmart and didn't record them.  Next year!!!



Somehow this gorgeous sun-patient slipped in with the others.  It got it's own pot as a result of it not
being "pink", and earned it's own spot also.



Being a bit short on plant budget this year, I focused on getting only 6 of these Sun patients...they are
always very worth the money.  They doubled their size (twice this size) till now.  I love them!!!



No matter how well I plan, the moon flowers come up where they want to.  This one invaded the
Susans, but I left it there.



Trumpet vine had a bit more flowers this season than last. The hummers love it!!!



This wild daisy WEED comes up all over my gardens. Sam likes it, and he never comments on any flower.  So I leave this one just for him.  It's at the driveway so he can enjoy it when he comes and goes.  The others get pulled out because they choke out the other plants.  Very impressive-looking on this photo.
