Mary's Flower Boxes 06-11-10

Mary's deck boxes are filled with glorious color and a hawk (still debating if it is a sharp-shinned or a Coopers) has been visiting the oak trees and sailing over the canyon. Mary and Joe haven't seen any baby quail, perhaps it is still too early in the season - or maybe that is what is attracting the hawk.
She usually has lobelia and alyssum, but varies the other flowers each year.

She only has three 'bird planted' sunflowers this year - so far!

Red, white and blue always work together.



These are the largest pinks I have ever seen and they smell wonderful.


The petunias are actually more red-violet, but doesn't the yellow and blue cheer you up?


English daisies, lobelia, orange nasturiums, and alyssum (you can't see it here).

Beautiful! I love the 'bird planted' sunflower! Let's HOPE the hawk doesn't spot the quail's home and wee ones! Have fun tomorrow!!
