Gemma's Flower Garden

I love flowers, I plant them everywhere, including in my vegetable garden.
Here are just a few.

Some views from my deck.
The pond looks a bit bare cause I recently resized the water plants.

Every year I'm blessed with plants that grow spontaneously in my garden, I call them "gifts".
This year I was "gifted" hundreds of Verbena plants, some I carefully transplanted in 4"pots and gave away to friends, some I relocated everywhere around my house and vegetable garden.
I was gifted a few Petunias of different colors, an early cabbage and 2 Dahlias from seed that grew in my Clematis pots that was filled with fresh soil, so I'm thinking they can't be from my own Dahlias and can't wait to see them blooming.

Peaches and Cream is one of my Honeysuckle, I also have Major Wheeler and Golden Flame..they smell amazing!
and that's one of my Hydrangea trees. White is not my favorite colors, because it looks rotted if it rains, but the blooms of this particular plant, hold color perfectly even in the worst of storms, in fact those blooms will hold form through the winter.
