That is amazing Shirley. My zinnias are barely up. You must get the exact amount of sunlight.

Here is what is blooming in my flower beds so far--well there is the weeds-- Here is my Anemone Annebella---it is supposed to be RED--- flowers-5-14-09001.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> Below is my Evening Primrose---while it is pretty, I think most of it will get removed---it is far too invasive for where I was silly enough to plant it last year---

Sheri I think maybe because the stem it blooms from is a deep deep red,, I really don't know that's a guess

Very nice, Sheri! I wish I could grow gardenias outdoors - they smell soooooooo good! They always get spider mites indoors, so I haven't had any for a couple of years now. Here is my clematis today - lots more blooms than previous years.
