Annual Flowers


 


These annual flowers I got from a free packet of seeds this spring have done so well in my planters.

I will have to get another packet next spring, or at least some Cosmos and Zinnias.  Over the years I have just used care free perennials but annual flowers do have their charm.  You just have to ensure they are kept well watered, in the pots anyway.  My cousin suggested that these flowers may even reseed themselves too.

In other news we turned the heater on a few days ago, it is getting cold.

Great flowers. And the best bit is that they cost you nothing. :-)

Greetings from London.

How cool! Reseeding. I think those work best in our garden. Lovely results!

It's getting colder here too..but we haven't turned on the heat yet. It will be expensive this year. Recently, I was listening to an older patron say, "I love a cold house." But not me. Adoring the flowers.

It's getting cold here too, mostly in the early morning. Might have to turn on the heater next week. Beautiful flowers!

Annuals don't last long, but they are very pretty. I buy mine at Home Depot every 3 months and display them in my patio. I never use seeds.

Flowers just make me smile. I love our balcony where I can enjoy potted plants. It's getting a little colder here. But today it's rain, rain, rain!

Those are such lovely flowers, and the price can't be beat! I hope to be planting some Cosmos and Zinnias this next spring as well.

We've the heat on, as well! Ice on the birdbath.
Well done with the seeds. I'll have to plan for that next year.

Our annuals are getting very tired and they show it. I do think that those may reseed themselves.
