I not only grow plants in several raised garden beds in my front and back yards, but I also have hanging baskets and planters filled with summer flowers such as Petunias, Stock, Impatiens and occasionally I’ll plant some lovely Dianthus or Sweet William among the annuals.
The photo above is a picture of lovely Sweet William flowers growing in a hanging basket. The Petunia’s had long since died off, but the Dianthus was still going strong.
I take my flower baskets down for winter and store them by the side of the house or on the patio, but because the baskets are small and shallow any perennials that are planted in them rarely make it through winter .. however, some like Sweet William will reseed and I should have Sweet William growing in that basket again come next summer.

Wow some great coloring, What would be great would be to have the flower itself crisp and then the stem and rest blurry. I am trying to practice this technique myslef but having a hard time getting my arms around it. Been watching photography technique videos on Howcast to improve my skills and they are coming along. Stills like flowers are alot of fun to shoot
