Ending with the equivalent of a floral fireworks!
Nicely done, Eliza.
Thank you, Dale! 💜

What a great way to wrap up the week! Such beautiful blooms to tantalize one’s springtime anticipation.
Thank you, Monika. I am so content amidst the flowers. But for now, I will enjoy these lazy months! 😉
Nice bright color combination!
Thank you, Sandy. It was a good garden season. 🙂
Beautiful!
Gracias, Maria!
Great way to end the week. Enjoyed revisiting your garden.
Thank you, Susie!
So appropriate…a later in the season bouquet, with Zinnia’s for the later pollinators.
Thank you, Alice. Can’t wait to see our little garden friends again. 🙂
Thank you for this post of co;or!
My pleasure! So nice to look back to warmer days and time spent amongst the flowers and pollinators. 🙂
💖💕🤗magnificent!!
Many thanks, Susan!
Another beautiful sampling from your garden 😊
Thank you, Belinda! 🌸
What a beautiful bouquet for the finale Eliza, thank you so much for sharing 💖 xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 🌸 💖
Your gorgeous zinnias are perfect for the grande finale Eliza! You have had such a lovely assortment of both them and dahlias this year and I am inspired to try growing them again next year! Thank you for contributing to the floral fun this week. Revisiting some of your vases and your garden has been very enjoyable and uplifting! 🤗
Thank you kindly, Cathy. It has done my heart good! 🙂
The colors here would make a beautiful bridesmaid’s bouquet, don’t you think? That deep mauve is very Fall-like.
Thank you, Debbie, it certainly would! 🙂
A beautiful arrangement and I love how the yellow flower matches the tinge of yellow in the pink flowers.
Thank you very much, Vicki! 🙂
Love the Zinnias! A bridesmaid’s bouquet is a great idea. Late summer garden wedding!
Thank you, Amy. The sedum would certainly hold up. 😉
Sedums and zinnias make excellent companions! For some reason Sedums, like Sempervivums, aren’t as happy in my climate as other succulents. Have a great weekend, Eliza!

Thank you, Kris!
This is a beautiful bouquet of bright flowers and it has been lovely looking back at everyone’s blooms!
Thank you, Jenny. A good way to while away a cold, wintry night. 😉
Thank you for a week of colorful floral retrospectives, Eliza. Looking back at our photo archives can help us get through the darker part of the year.
Thank you, Tanja. It was a welcome distraction this week! 🙂
A grand finale!
Thanks, Hien!
Such gorgeous flowers!
Thank you, Alex!
The touch of yellow was perfect. Such strong, bright colors can’t help but lift the spirits!
Thank you, Linda. A good mood-lifter for sure!
So joyous!
Thank you!
Going out with a flourish Eliza. Well done.
MJ
Many thanks, MJ!
Ah, zinnias are as enviable now as they were then, . . . although ours actually performed unexpectedly well last summer.
Thank you, Tony. Zinnias are a must have in my garden. 🙂
Yes, everyone seems to enjoy them, which is why it is so frustrating that they typically do not perform so well here.
These posts have been lovely and uplifting in the cold of winter Eliza 🙂
Thank you, Andrea. Glad you found them uplifting, it was a pleasure revisiting them and the fullness of summer.
