Hope you enjoyed my red/white/blue post today!!!!! To be honest, we have LOTS of reds and whites blooming most all spring and summer ---but we don't have too many BLUES... Blue flowers are not easy to find ---and as you can tell from my pictures, the blue tends to become more purple than blue... BUT---I love purple and have lots of purple flowers....
Have an awesome day today ---and Happy Birthday AMERICA.
Hugs,
You've got a very patriotic yard with all the red white and blue beauties. They're all so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave a very happy 4th
I hope you and George have a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are always amazing Betsy
ReplyDeleteThat final tulip is simply gorgeous. Looks like flames on its petals. Have a great day of celebration on this Independence Day. We plan to take Doug's brother to an air show in his town.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th July Betsy. Beautiful colorful post commemorating the day and I too, love the last bloom. Have a wonderful celebration.

Betsy, Nice patriotic posting! Love the red, white and blue theme... Great sunrise photo too! It's something that we would never see if you didn't post it...as an 8 AM wake up is early for us. Have a great 4th! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteClever you for finding those blue flowers. Happy 4th July.

ReplyDeleteYour phoros ofr your own garden of flowers never fail to impress me. Super selection.
ReplyDeleteWow! Variety of flowers and colors… seems spring has a rich bloom this year and I admired all the flowers and the way u connected with USA’s Birthday is beautiful in concept! The white and red tulip and the Christmas wishes stunned me
ReplyDeleteHappy July 4th to you and George :)
This is a beautiful post Betsy. I agree,that blue often tends to look more purple in a picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy July 4th to you and George.
ReplyDeleteThe pansies and blue iris are my favorites today! PLUS the peppermint tulip and white rose. They are ALL extraordinary!! I just bet you and George have something fun planned for today, and I hope we get to see it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you were going to get a blue in there but you pulled it off nicely. Love those red day lilies.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and safe 4th.
Beautiful red, white, and blue flowers, Betsy! Wishing you and George a Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous way to celebrate the 4th with your explosion of beauty! You have such an amazing garden, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of your flowers, Betty, and on the previous blog of the Iris. Oh, my goodness, they are all beautiful. I love to make flower arrangements and give them to people and if I had all yours growing in my yard I could be making an arrangement every day. I have a knee that is bone on bone so I don't do the amount of flower gardening that I have enjoyed in years past but I still can enjoy a few pots of flowers on our porches.
ReplyDeletei'm a bit late on commenting butI loved your patriotic post Betsy.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteOh my!---what beautiful beautiful flowers!! I love the Clarence the best! And that sunrise picture....wow.......great capture there! Hope our holiday was just wonderful...ours was!
ReplyDeleteYou and George must work so hard to have all these gorgeous flowers. The rewards are just awesome! Happy 4th to both of you.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great selection of red white and blue!
ReplyDeleteI sure do love your Patriotic Yard and your flowers are so gorgeous. Hope you had an enjoyable 4th. Hugs and Blessings, xo

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late but I hope you had a fun day on the 4th. I was in Melbourne at the time and my time was taken up with two little boys. Your flowers are so beautiful. Send George over here and I will put his magic to work in my garden. You can come too of course.
