I saw the orchids everywhere this year. I considered getting one myself ..... for about a half a second. :)

There is such a great variety of petunias around and I also thought about trying them again. I haven't had them in years and it seemed for outside, that they didn't handle the midsummer heat very well. Maybe the would be good on the shadier side of the house..... maybe.

Like that shot of the concrete finial.
