Pretty little petunias!




I adore annual flowers. I popped out to the nursery today and bought lots of gorgeous petunias for the front and back garden. My taste tends to change like the wind and I often find myself getting sick of things. I think this is why annuals work so beautifully for me, by the time I am ready for a change the season has ended and I have to move on to something new. Plus they work perfectly around my staple items of hydrangeas and gardenias. Plus annuals especially petunias are full of fabulous colour and brighten my day!

    Flowers can make any building so much prettier! Here in Prague, we have flowers all over the windows. I just love the look.

    I love annuals too, though I'm not a gardener sadly. I just adore flowers .. but things tend to die when I look after them.

    ADORE petunias. I tend to lose mine to the Southern US heat, but they are quick and easy happy flowers!

    Your new header is beautiful, Kellie! I love the way those flowers look in the third and fourth picture. Flowers against a pretty building are my favorite.

    I love drippy petunias! Here in DC they plant them on every lampost in my neighborhood, and this time of year they are SO full and gorgeous!!

    Oh, I adore these photographs so much - especially the first and last ones. It looks like a little Italian villa decorated with lovely flowers. J'adore! :)

    I've always loved petunias. My Mom always planted them when I was little. Brings me back to that little girl. : )

    The good thing about petunias is that they flower, and flower and flower until the end of the season.
    Don't the white ones look gorgeous ? XXXX

    I am mad for flowers that display in a hanging way, perched from above.

    I myself, have had no luck and am stuck with the donkey tails that remain.
