TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Petunias

In the heat of summer, when you can't cope with taking care of

a large garden any more, one can still have some bright colour

with a few petunias in a pot.

Not only are the colours cheerful but the detail of veining is

quite spectacular.

Pretty colour and a few drops of dew even make for a pretty

picture.

Most of you know that because of our protracted

and one of my favourite Chrysanthemums with

inch wide flowers of bright burnt orange. Under

ideal conditions it can grow to 5' tall, just covered

in flowers. I hope to find at least a tiny survivor

when finally the rains come. All my other

Chrysanthemums have joined the great white

Chrysanthemun in the sky.
