My yard may not have much curb appeal with random flowers planted in odd configurations, but all that matters is that the cut flowers are grown for a time like this —
It’s cut flower season! Oh, the great joy I find in going into the yard to see what’s newly blooming, to cut flowers to bring inside. (Spiders often included. The one downside.)
This all started back in April when I planted many of these plants from seed. My babies have grown up! (Not from seed: gladiolus from bulbs, snapdragons, cone flowers, dahlias from tubers. The rest: seed.)
I’m already making notes for next year. Will work on the curb appeal part.
there's no place like gnome. 
Fantastic flowers, Lindsay! I am jealous. Wish you were my neighbor. My snapdragons are just starting to blossom and I am excited. Never planted them before. You have a wonderful selection of flowers for arrangements. We both are fine and Burnett is improving each day. Has an appointment on Friday and hope all is okay. Think of you often. Marilyn
I agree. I have enjoyed my flowers all summer. My hibiscus has so many blossoms on it I can’t even count them. Too bad they last one day. As the days lean to being shorter I find the flowers are getting tired and not putting on new buds. But it sure has been fun.
