I've been so excited waiting for my summer flower garden to bloom. I planted it pretty

much on a wing and a prayer and really didn't know what to expect since this was my

first attempt at raised bed gardening. I've got some gorgeous blooms to share with you

today, and hopefully I'll have some advice on planting a flower garden in general once it

gets a bit later in the summer. You might remember my sneak peek of the flower garden

a few weeks ago. Today I have many more blooms to share in the form of my first

summer garden bouquet.

As usual I used one of my vintage mason jars as the vase.

I've got begonias, anemones, zinnias and gerberas.

Not bad for a novice flower gardener.

The colors are just spectacular. I can't decide which flowers I love more -- my hydrangeas, or these!

I love being able to go right outside and cut some pretty flowers to brighten up our days.
Winters here in the Midwest are pretty unforgiving, which I guess makes the summers
all the more sweet.

What's your favorite summer flower?

Are you a flower gardener?
