My flowers

This spring I thinned my day lilies - which, though somewhat unruly when blooming, are also rather spectacular colors.  It was an appropriate act and very much needed, and yet . . . . There's quite a lot more open space in the garden that today I worked to fill with other flowers - mostly petunias.  I'm worn out.  Maybe letting the lilies overwhelm the space is not such a bad idea after all.
Still, I love petunias, or as my father called them, petunies.  They seem to require very little coddling and special attention and they bloom beautifully all summer long.  I hope so.  For now, I rest, until I find the energy to plant the last dozen or so in the still ample space available.
