Sweet Williams
Flowers that return each year, or politely reseed or spread, are big faves of mine. Old fashioned sweet williams have the added bonus of brilliant colors and longish stems so they can go in bouquets. These are on my patio right now. The peach flowers behind them are nasturtiums with variegated leaves, a new plant for me.

Lovely flowers. I have both these flowers in my own garden and so enjoy them. Thanks for sharing.
I love the sweet Williams with the nasturtiums and purple things in the background!!! You wouldn’t think the colours would look so wonderful together, till you saw them!!
As for the grape flowers – I was gobsmacked the first time I saw them, too!! This year, I discovered that oak trees have flowers!!! Isn’t the world amazing?
I’ve planted both, but they were not together, nature compliments her own colors!
Lovely colours.
Pretty colors. Have a fabulous week!

Lovely Sweet Williams, and sweet fragrance. Your photo reminds me that mine have ceased to return, I should start some more. I have Dianthus ‘Microchip’ for my entry this week.
These have been a favorite since my childhood in Vermont… beautiful! L
