Abloom August - Flowers make me happy

Although one can say that the season for flowers blooming are over, I still have most of the ones I planted at the beginning of summer.  One of the last one to bloom is my one and only LILY.  I really can't tell you what are the names of the flowers that I bought this year.  To me, it's all about the colors and how pretty they would look together or on their own.  A few years ago, one of my best friend from Ontario explained to me how I should plant my annuals.  She told me the 3 most important thing to consider when buying the flowers that will eventually go in my big pots.  The 3 words to remember- THRILLER, SPILLER and FILLER.  I am sure you have heard about it, but I didn't.  So after that lesson, every year I would remember these 3 words and my annual plants/flowers have been wonderful.  This post is all about flowers. I hope that sharing these pictures makes you happy the way these flowers makes me happy. 

This year's Iris bloom

I took a photo of someone's Iris 

My friend Nathalie gave me this for my birthday.

I took this on the side of the golf course.

During our road trip to Lake Country, I took this photo.

This was one of my plants that I didn't even know had flowers.

My neighbor gave me these "Impatience" because I am very patient.

I added these 3 in June but it's a bit boring.

These were much better looking last month.

The one and only LILY plant that blooms every July.

This one was a real survivor. The pot flooded during a downpour.
