With the late Spring, we weren't sure what might be blooming in the gardens so planting annuals was our assurance that there would be color.

I've heard some gardeners make disparaging remarks about annuals, but I'm with you. They give that little bit of pizzaz to the garden, so more power to them!

I probably haven't tried hard enough :-) Pretty, pretty flowers, though! We're in the middle of planting just over 2,000 annual plants at the Spokane Temple. Many are not yet in bloom so we have to look with eyes of faith at the beauty that will be there in a few weeks.
