The Hanging Basket of the Day by sunnygreenwood

The Hanging Basket of the Day

5 hours, 12 gardens - and this was one of the prettiest baskets we saw all day. They look like miniature double wave petunias but I don't really know what they are. [Edit - thanks Elke for the id. They're double calibracoa, I'm guessing Proven Winners' "Superbells"]

I'm still holding out on timeline in fb but I'm ready for the banner shot when they dump me there.

Many thanks for dropping by.
This would make a great banner shot on FB, Anne. Gorgeous flowers and such striking colors!

They certainly are pretty. Nice capture of them. Your garden tours sound like a lot of fun. Do you go on your own or with a society or other group?

These really are beautiful, Anne. A gorgeous color and such a healthy looking plant! I love your pov and the lighting on them. Did you take a garden tour for these? We have one coming up here and I wanted to go. However, it's been so hot here that one doesn't even feel like going out, much less walking around much. We'll see.

They are quite pretty whatever they are. I am pretty clueless when it comes to flowers, but i do know they look great.
July 9th, 2012

lovely shot and beautiful planter, I agree. . .was your weather such that it wasn't horrifying to visit five gardens? We are so saddened by what the 100+ degree heat for ten days has done to our gardens here in Ohio.

Lovely shot Anne, def make a cool banner on FB :)
July 10th, 2012  
Beautiful flowers and capture.

@lyno thanks lyn! yes, weather certainly played a role. All 12 of the gardens were on well water properties and they all showed signs of dryness, some worse than others. Some gardens had actually had plants die from lack of water. i'm barely keeping my own going.

Gorgeous! The colors of purple and green are a great match - wonderful how nature puts together the colors! Wonderful!!!
July 10th, 2012  
oh yes, this would like great on FB timeline. I'm holding out too Anne!!
i wish my flowers were still pretty like this. Our dry hot weather has pretty much destroyed mine.
July 11th, 2012  
Gorgeous!!!
