Thoughts on Independence Day

Fireworks from my garden. Twirling Fuchsias...

 Marjoram sprays...

 Succulent sunbursts....

 Dodonea puffs...

Fiery Coleus sparklers...

 Sparkly Begonia pinwheels...

 Fatsia starbursts with swirling sparks of ivy...

 OK, my analogies just ran out...

Happy Independence Day; celebrate it well, but never forget how much we all depend on each other...

  1. Love your fireworks. I also thought about the Pennisetum setaceum rubrum 'Fireworks' which grows in my garden. Wish I had it in a container to really set it off.

    Happy 4th.~~Dee

  3. Thanks guys! Mr. BT, the coleus is a Proven Selections variety called 'Freckles' if that helps! (Poor thing, still in its 4" pot!)
