Impatiens is the flower of choice in the planters and window boxes of this brown-thumbed gardener.
They ask for nothing but water.
They need no pruning...
... no fertilizer...
... no dead heading.
They cheerfully greet each new day...
...with an abundance...
... of colorful blossoms.
Sweet impatiens...
... you will forever be my flower of choice...
I'm so happy that you are thriving.
You were hard to find at the garden centers this year...
Hopefully the disease you were prone to...
... will be a thing of the past by next summer.
I can't even imagine a summer...
.. without you.
The high temps and high humidity have fled New England for a spell, leaving us with gloriously beautiful weather! If the temperatures stayed like this, I'd love to have summer year 'round!
I'm joining Tracie's Cottage Garden Party at Fishtail Cottage this week.
Have a great week, everyone!
