Summer Flowers

The zinnias are outstanding this year. They are one of my favorite flowers because they come in such wonderful color combinations.

Snapdragons are another favorite, probably because as a child I loved making the flowers "talk"!

I am in the process of redesigning the garden in front of the main inn. I want to add more flowers and color. So out came the evergreen shrubs and in when lupine, zinnias, foxglove, and bearded iris.

It looks a little bare in this photo, but everything has already grown in quite a bit and the foxgloves are blooming in ernest.

As budget and time allows I will be filling in more of this bed with additional perennials, but will probably use more annuals this year for their "instant" color appeal.
