Summer Flowers in Bloom

Living in the south, we get to enjoy beautiful flowers like these almost year-round. Earlier today, we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch and spotted these in their flower beds. They remind me of what a black-thumb I have when it comes to growing flowers and plants. Years ago, a secret sister at church gave me a beautiful hanging basket of flowers. I never had the heart to tell anyone at the church that the flowers died almost immediately. I am just no good, none whatsoever, when it comes to plants and flowers. I am forever destined to enjoy everyone else's.
