My front boulevard garden is blooming happily right now. There are daylily, sunflower, cosmo, dahlia and morning glory blooms in abundance. It’s just lovely.
I love these huge pink cactus dahlia blooms. There’s only two or three flowers so far since the three dahlia plants have only just started blooming, but they’ll continue to grow taller and develop more blooms throughout the summer and well into the fall.
If I’m lucky a plant or two might even survive the winter. If I’m smart this fall I could simply dig up the roots and store them in a cool area of the basement and replant them in the spring. I always seem to forget to do this though!
I suppose the color of the daylilies doesn’t really go with the pink Dahlias, but when you see the whole boulevard garden all the colors blend in well.
I think the bright yellow sunflowers help tie the two contrasting colors together.
How is your garden doing this summer? Are some of your favorite plants blooming right now?

I don’t have a garden at the moment but I do love flowers. I am really impressed by the huge pink cactus dahlia blooms in your garden, they are absolutely beautiful and your photograph does it justice.
Gorgeous plants
Gorgeous flowers and the picture quality is excellent.
We are just starting gardening this year and have a lot to learn. Last year was spent trying to figure out what plants we actually have growing in our yards.
The previous owners just mowed over everything that was in the yard as they were busy people without a passion for plants like we have.
We were blown away by all the flowers they had kept down but as we see what we have we already know it’s not exactly what we want but we are learning.
I have started to take pictures but my hands shake too much. I will have to get a little tripod for those shots close to the ground.
Photos like yours keep me motivated to do better with my camera.
thanks
Lovely captures of the natural beauty. Good job! =)
I think that your pictures are great.
I like to take pictures of my flowers, too. This winter I had pretty pansies, and now my pink wave petunia is doing great in my hanging basket.
