Shades of Pink

by Susan on August 21, 2012

There’s a lot of pink in my garden.  Pink flowers and foliage can be found pretty much everywhere.  Even now, at the end of summer, there are lots of pink flowers around.  In a week or so, the Japanese anemones will bloom and it will be a haze of pink blooms right into October.

The biggest surprise this year is that some of the Lychnis coronaria (Rose Campion) are still blooming.  This biennial plant typically goes to seed and stops blooming by the end of July in my garden.  I’m lucky to have a few stragglers.

I snapped some photos to capture the pink I saw tonight.  I hope you enjoy the shots.

I love all your pink flowers and foliage! Cool collage, too. I had a lot of pink blooming plants in my former garden. My favorites were: dianthus, fairy rose, and hydrangeas.
Cheers,
Loi
