Petunia Leads the Way

My eye is quickly seized by a gorgeous glimmer of purple; I walk over to take a better look. The renegade petunias have arrived to announce the imminent arrival of summer.  They are supposed to be annuals, but no one has told them, so here they are, magically showing summer the way. 


purple petunia
vibrant and beautiful
spring into summer

Nicely done Caren. I always buy baskets of petunias to hang under my apple tree in summer for the butterflies. Love them. God Bless, JB

Interesting. I think many of the plants are confused by the weather now.
