I have received many comments on how pretty they look ... and even more questions as to "how did you do that". The secret is really to be sure to keep them watered, feed them every couple of weeks (I use "Peter's" fertilizer that mixes with water) and to keep them "dead headed". The more you dead head, the more they bloom.
Most years I do ALL purple flowers around the house but this year, I was feeling very patriotic (with the war going on so long I guess and loosing so many of our boys/girl
s) that I decided to do the red/white/blue (or in a couple cases, pink/purple/white).

Oh Darlene, I just wish I could grown lovely flowers like this. I am afraid I do not have the magic touch when it comes to flowers and the garden. I do enjoy seeing flowers and beautiful gardens though. Maybe, one day I will learn to grow them like you have done. Thanks for sharing this picture in your blog.
