Red Marigolds, Red Geraniums, Red Croscosmia

Being able to grow flowers, and especially red flowers, is reason enough (for me) to garden! This is a "Red Day" for reasons of spreading some cheer! Geraniums are showy with their variegated leaves and red flowers set them off beautifully!


More marigolds.......and Saliva......
..another kind of variegated geranium with red blooms....
Red Begonias......
and Red Croscosmia!
The color of "cheer" does show up as red!!

Red in the summer is always a happy happy color! The variegated leaves on the geraniums add another pop of color.

Ooo...love all the firey color here today, Julene... I've always had a huge fondness for nasturtiums. I grew some one year in our veggie patch for splash of color...they literally took over the patch--but it was beautiful! Happy weekend, my friend :o9 ((HUGS))

Fantastic display of red. I'm of fan of red too! And orange and coral and salmon.... Well and throw a little blue in to set them all off. But really it all begins with Red!
