Well it finally rained a little this afternoon, not nearly enough though. I just hope it raines all night. It did fill the rain barrels and I guess that counts for something...
My favorite Geranium is blooming like crazy. I propagated this from a friends a couple years ago and I hope to keep it going from now on... I think it is the most beautiful Geranium I have ever seen...

This was right after the rain, I love to see the raindrops on the flowers...This is another of my favorite Geraniums, but I'm not sure of the name. I just went to Daves Garden and posted a picture for ID so maybe I will get the real name of it... I love that site so much info in just one place...
Isn't She Beautiful???Zinnia's were my father-in-laws favorite so I grow them every year...
Summer Sun Sunflowers...I was amazed when the seeds I saved lastyear came back true to the big double petunias I grew from seed lastyear...
I also had an Ornimentl Cabbage come back up from lastyear, it even produced seed this spring... I think this really cold and snowy winter really helped...
The Gerbas are such a beautiful color of pink, so fresh and clean looking... especially after the rain...
Butterflys have been out in force, I could take pictures of them all day. There are so many different colors to enjoy...
Hope you all get some of this needed rain where you are... Have a great day...

Hi Lynn, those geraniums are beautiful. I've never seen huge double blooms like that. Good luck with it, a keeper for sure.
Loved seeing your butterflies. I've seen several the past couple weeks too.
Keeping my fingers crossed for rain here too. We got a little over the weekend but only about half an inch. We need more.
