Happy Summer! I can’t believe that summer is already here! A few summers ago, I planted beautiful perennial gardens along the south and east sides of my house. There I planted a wildflower mix, roses and lots of lilies. I really enjoy lilies!
Day lilies in my home’s front garden bed
The photo below shows the yellow roses that bloom in my home’s front garden bed. The roses bloom throughout the summer — that is, if I remember to water them frequently!
I often also plant sunflowers in my home’s southern garden. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers!
Throughout the summer my garden produces lots of pretty blooms that I can bring inside!
A few summers ago I planted a packet of wildflowers in my home’s southern garden, and ever since then, I get a beautiful crop of sunny wildflowers during the summer. I am not sure what these flowers are, but they are sure beautiful.
Simple Coca-Cola Bottle Vases
The wildflowers in my garden recently produced a lot of blooms, so I cut some to bring inside. I have some vintage-looking Coca-Cola bottles that I saved from a night out with my husband and kids. (A Korean restaurant near our home always serves Coca-Cola in these bottles.)
I cleaned the bottles, and used them as simple vases for summer garden blooms. I really like how they look just simply lined up on my home’s kitchen table!
Hope you are enjoying your summer so far! What flowers are blooming in your summer garden?
It seems bud vases are on trend this season and I would love to find some (at the dollar store) to put in my planter box for the shasta daisies that are blooming right now. Those coke bottles are so fun and the daisies are so pretty in them!
