It's July, so flowers are blooming all over. We have stone planters up and down Main St and there are large beds on either side of the steps leading into the old church where the library is located. I enjoy looing at the flowers, even though I have no idea what the vast majority of them are. So many different colours and patterns! Here are a few that caught my eye when we were out this afternoon.

So many beautiful flowers around! I love the way the ones in the top photo look like someone splattered paint on them 🙂
I was thinking that too about the orange ones, that it looked like someone had painted them.
The pink ones at the bottom are like a Leprechaun got overzealous and made a special fancy clover for his GF/wife but added an extra leaf or something. I'm sure one could write some lore or a cartoon/play about it and sell a lot of them for some special day in Ireland =) (Lacking that, Mother's Day might work if they're blooming already in late March.)
Glad you can enjoy a bit of summer at least!
Wish it could last forever, even in winter I want colors! Especially then.
Hope we´ll have a Christmas market with colors again, but reckon... "Corinna" will still hang around.
Joy--I'm not sure if they'd grow that early--probably indoors, they might, if people overwintered them inside! I did that one year with a hanging basket a friend made for me--brought it inside before the first frost and we had beautiful blooms all winter. I have a distinct memory of how cool it was to have them in the kitchen (that was the best window for them) on Thanksgiving! Beautiful!
Iris--do you have houseplants? Some of them bloom. And people force bulbs inside, don't they? I always have my yarn and thread for colour, all year round :-)
Shari, what a wonderful idea! I didn't know they'd bloom through winter like that =)
I didn't know if it would work, but I figured I might as well try, since if I left them outside they'd freeze to death anyway!
I have a black thumb.
I really did grow two avocado-plants from scratch. They went up to 20cm. And then just died. Ingo even bought a humidifier (we have wooden floors and with the heating in winter the wood ate up all water, ALL water).
I have plastic flowers, hence...
You need some crocheted flowers that you can have up all year! Or a bunting/garland kind of thing in some colourful fabric! :-)
