The weather has calmed down, bringing rain showers off and on and the strong winds seemed to have blown away to somewhere else.
The plants and Zinnia garden I have planted around the greenhouse are in full bloom and make the whole area cheery.
I experimented planting pink Rose Moss on top of a Caladium bulb and the results...... a beautiful pink and green Caladium in the center of the pink Rose Moss. If you click on the picture, you can see the Caladium peeking through in the middle. This really made me smile! 
I love Zinnias. They are so easy to grow and when they get started, they are hearty and cheery!
I experimented with various sunflower seed this year. This is an autumn mix and I just love the color! The whole flower is the size of a small dessert plate!
I made a small sunflower garden in a section of my vegetable garden. There are bright yellows, light yellows, deep dark maroons and fall colors. I couldn't be more pleased! They are such hearty easy plants to plant. Ok, now, show me your pretty flowers! I can't wait to come visit your gardens!

Your garden is so pretty...I really like the Rose Moss and Caladium mixed together. Gardens just give so much pleasure...I enjoyed all your pretties.
I didn't do much summer planting but I'm sure looking forward to the fall.
Hope you are having a nice week. Hugs, Linda
