This is a hydrangea. I must say I've only grown purple and blue flowers. I love this fuschia color.

Sweet Peas
I know the sweet peas are long gone, at least here in the PNW, but this shot is lovely and old fashioned and the colors muted.

Pink, pink
The shade of this flower reminds me of an old auntie. It is a vintage color and feels sweet. Plant many pink flowers in your garden. I had a color theme of pink and yellow.

Reaching Petals
I love how this flower is shot, sort of reaching for the light. White flowers light up at dusk, try them next to your porch or out the front window.

Pink-tipped Yellow Dahlia
This flower is a lovely sweet mix of pink and yellow. I'm drawn to the light on it the the curls of petals at the center.

China Rose
This looks like a hibiscus to me. Hibiscus grow in this climate, but need to come in during the winter. Keep them potted.

Calendula
This is one of the last flowers to bloom in the fall. It is a good herb to use medicinally.

Pink Dahlias
Growing dahlias easy, only you have to be willing to take up the bulbs in the fall and dry them and store them. Bulbs and tubers are something that can be split and new plants made. I've never had the patience for it all, but many have beautiful gardens. See Growing Dahlias

Heather
Bumble bee in the heather. Here in the PNW, heather grows like crazy. It's a beautiful low growing shrub that is good for edging gardens. I loved it growing in my garden in Kingston. It blooms in the fall and spring.
Pink Rose
This is a luscious rose with the water drops, sumptious and venusian.

Mature Red Rose
This rose is more open, thus mature, and the sepals in the center are full of pollen. Very pretty, you can imagine the scent.

These poppies placed in the rocks are inspired by compostitions of Andy Goldworthy. Have you seen his beautiful creations, petals in a stream, flowers in pools on rocks. Look him up, it's amazing.
