Summer Canna Lily

The tropical foilage of Canna Lilies and the colorful varieties of the blossoms are good plants for warm summer climates.  They're tall and make a good backdrop in the garden for other flowers.

Yellow Splash

Summer's on it's way and this bright yellow dahlia serves as a reminder of the colors to come.  That's the best part of summer, all the flowers and fragrances.

Summer Whites

The bloom of summer flowers is gone but not forgotten.  This mass of white cosmos reminds me of the glories of summer blossoms.  The colors, the different varieties, the fragrances of the delicate petals are what I love about summer.

Hot Colors of Summer

It's starting to warm up here in the desert and this Mexican Bird of Paradise is showing off in all it's glory. A hardy, heat loving plant, it blooms prolifically in the summer adding vibrant color to the landscape.
