Petunias!

I like petunias.

Hanging baskets on main streets in Rosemount, MN

Petunias are colorful, hearty, and everywhere. This summer I started taking photos of different displays of petunias.

Our town has beautiful hanging baskets all along the main street.

Petunias cannot be picked for a bouquet but if watered daily they will bloom and bloom and bloom, and tolerate the hot sun.

We saw several of these apartment buildings in Columbus, OH, all with wonderful window boxes overflowing with petunias.

Some people would consider them “just an ordinary flower” but I think they are “old-fashioned and beautiful”.

Bridge Square, Northfield

They come in all colors, are easy to grow, and brighten up many spaces.

These are called night sky because of the color and white spots.

I will continue to notice petunias…once on the lookout you find them everywhere!

  1. These are all so beautiful. I don’t have any luck with them though. Wish I did.

    1. I’m sorry you have trouble with petunias. You do have a nice yard with good trees.

  2. What a great idea to photo focus on a single flower. I am always impressed by the massive hanging petunia baskets.

    This year I got some black petunias from my sister who is a florist. I love them paired with the almost lime green of the sweet potato vine.

    1. Thanks Audrey.
      I bet the black and lime green is stunning! It reminds me…when we were in Africa we caught glimpses of a wedding party dressed in lime green and black at a park we were visiting. I loved the combination.
