Flowers

Here are some of the other flowers we have right now:

Petunias and geraniums that I planted in my garden along with merigolds. We found a Wikipedia page that gives plants that naturally keep gardens healthy:
Marigolds Deter: nematodes, beet leaf hoppers, other pests
Petunias Deter: leafhoppers, Japanese beetles, aphids, asparagus beetle
Geraniums Deter: leafhoppers, Japanese beetles

Osteospermum hybrids (orange, yellow, and white) and Calibrachoa 'MiniFamous Dark Blue'

Petunias that were given to us as a hostess gift

Weigela shrub? We've got 2 of these

Carl, the lemon tree, keeps blooming. It smells so good!

While not blooming yet, this Wisteria vine is growing about 6" every day or two. Next year it should be covered in flowers!

This Thumbergia was a $2 rescue. Planted in front (until the vine takes over) are Ageratum hybrid "Artist Blue." They did not fair too well in the last heat wave.

My cucumbers are flowering like crazy! They must love this hot weather.

My heirloom tomatoes are finally blooming and are actually being pollinated!! I've had countless blooms fall off with no fruit.

Our green pepper plant has 3 peppers and is getting ready to bloom again.

Sugar snap pea flowers are so pretty. The pea pods grow so fast!

And this is just the Backyard!
