I know the traditional colors for the Fourth of July are red, white and blue. However I'm more likely to be drawn to pink, white and periwinkle blue -- just the artist in me I guess.
What a celebration, not only this day but every day in summer when these lovelies are blooming.
To sit on this bench surrounded by a lush beautiful yard (ever so many thanks to my in-house landscape gardener for this) is truly a gift.
So here's to 'blooms' not 'booms' as we here in the States celebrate our history.

HAppy 4th Penny. I love those colors too! Just bought pink day lilies that I could not resist due to the price. Terry gave me a side glance since I have lots of green to transplant by the pond, but REALLY! Who can resist a rose colored day lily!

Green is almost nature's neutral, isn't it - a great backdrop for the pinks, whites and blues!
ReplyDeleteLove your cute pun! I much prefer soft blooms to booms as well. Your in-house gardener deserves congratulations for the lovely fruits of his labors. Happy 4th holiday!
ReplyDeleteIt looks such a cool and tranquil place. Green is so soothing and those soft pinks, creams and twilight blues tone in perfectly.
