Thanks for your suggestion about steeples in a blog. Maybe I will start posting churches and/or their steeples on Sundays.

What lovely petunias. I love their leaves. Easy to grow, you say? Well, you live in the South, so it might be more so there.

Beautiful petunia bush. Does it grow naturally in Georgia? Love the colors!

Craver Vii said...

What a contrast to the last set. The color is almost the opposite, and these petals look so much more delicate.

arleena said...

Beautiful blue flowers.

Cath said...
