Hardy hibiscus with tones of pink, from a dark burgundy rose center to moderate and pale pink swaths of color. It is dramatic, about 4” in diameter, and thrives in the summer heat.
A single dahlia flower, shades of a pink/lavender fading to near white. Dahlias grow from a tuber, which must be dug each year to save for the next season. Dahlias remind us that we need to work far in advance of rewards. There rarely are instant gratification situations in farming.
Photo of a single red zinnias, just starting to unfurl its petals, giving the appearance of a pinwheel.
Black eyed Susans in clusters of pots providing a vibrancy to the day that lifts the spirits. Dark brown center with dark red petals tipped with sunny yellow edges makes the flowers dramatic.
Time for #fridayflowers because flowers make it better! And let’s face it, the news is crushing; we need a restorative. #flowers #garden #blueskyflower #farmlife
