Summer Flowers 2008, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

The names of the flowers are listed on Flickr, but most of the above are Snapdragons.

From 3 pm and on, the power went out 5 times. The last time was a little before 7 and we are expecting thunderstorms too. Sean is at his night class, so I’ll be holding my breath until he gets home in an hour or so.

  1. It’s past my bedtime but I wanted to catch up on a couple more blogs first! I’m so loving all your flowers, they’re so beautiful!! I was thrilled to see that the 5 rose bushes I planted in my faerie garden are loaded with rose buds:-) I hope your heat breaks soon…it’s finally done so here and I’m so enjoyig the much cooler temps we’re having now!! xoxo

  2. More pretty flowers! You have so many more blooming than I do.

    Both pots of zinnia seeds you sent me are coming up. I think there’s about six in each pot. I am so excited! So far I haven’t seen any that I planted in the ground.
