A colorful Marigold
This weeks Theme is Colorful I haven’t planted any marigolds yet, but I have purchased some. They’re sitting in their little seedling containers just waiting for me to plant them. This marigold is my neighbors. On mother’s day her family actually did some work in the yard and they planted some flowers for her. A few days later I was out taking photos of my flowers and she insisted that I take pictures of her flowers too. Funny thing is that once I started she wanted me to stop because she decided she didn’t want me to waste my film. Try explaining to a lady that’s almost 90 what a digital camera is! I truly must be on some kind of orange kick. I have flowers of many colors but I keep wanting to post flowers with orange in them. Even this new theme that I picked out and modified for As the Garden Grows has a lot of orange in it. Orange is not my favorite color, but for some reason I seem to be very attracted to it in the last while. Odd. I haven’t purchased all my annuals for the garden beds yet … I wonder how many of them will have shades of orange this year?

I love the colors! I do not like orange too but I must admit there are things that look good in orange, and that includes flowers.
Mine is up too and the photos are about flowers. Have a great weekend.

That marigold is beautiful. I’ve never seen a marigold like that before. When I was 12, I planted a yellow marigold and an orange marigold in the flower box attached to our front porch. I loved those flowers. *sigh* Now I live in an apartment that will let me plant flowers by my side of the porch, but the kids next door would ruin them. *again, sigh*
