Peace rose in summertime

This pretty late-afternoon scene of peace roses in my front yard was taken last July. Summertime and its roses is only a few short months away.

Orange cosmos

Taking a peek at the other side of the year, this orange cosmos flower bloomed in a friend’s garden in September. I’ve grown them myself, and they are easy from seed. Try some this year!

Late summer dahlias

It’s been pretty gray and I haven’t managed to get outside much when the sun did peek through, so it’s back to the archives for a blast of sunshine. Dahlias are such summer stunners.

Moses Lake sunset

This photo was taken on a warm and perfect August evening in Moses Lake, Washington. Doesn’t it almost look like a rainbow in the water reflection?

Dark red dahlia

Let’s hope that the nasty hard freeze we had last week has not killed the dahlias tubers, still in the ground. Here’s one blossom from my favorite plant, from August.

These pretty (and edible!) nasturtium flowers were growing on my patio in July, now just a sweet memory.

Watermelon peony

I guess I could call this color peach or coral, but doesn’t it look just like watermelon? Missing fresh flowers very much, I raided my archives for this image of a bouquet on my table from May. And don’t you miss the Dutch irises in the background, too?
