    Beautiful planters and even prettier flowers. What is the flowers name that is in the first pot? I bought some this year and can't recall the name... and I love them!

    You still have so many lovely flowering plants in your garden Sherry. Your patio looks so inviting especially with those tall white pots and the bright petunias. I also love the colour of your snapdragons - such a deep, rich red.

    Stunning flowers. Your garden is going out with a big bang!
    There is something majestic about the entrance to your patio.
    I especially liked the yellow, white and red colours of the fourth pic. The snap dragons were gorgeous as well.
    Nice posting, Sherry.

    2of us...those are bacopa. I have pink and purple in the pots. Thank you..

    Netty...thank you, those are my favorite too. We store them in the shed in the winter so they don't crack from our cold weather.

    Thank you Frank, Eileen and Sjoerd...Eileen...it was hard to find the larger snapdragons, they sell mostly the dwarf ones. Maybe I just shop in the wrong places.

    To @Sherry8 : I'm inquiring about the photograph of birds at a feeder that you use as your profile photo. I publish several community newspapers in New Jersey and I'd like to use that photo in association with the local Rotary Club's upcoming bird seed sale. Is that photo yours? Or can you tell me the source? If you'd like to communicate with me directly, since the topic is irrelevant to the forum, please email Thank you. David

    Those look great! What blooms I have aren't looking as vibrant and pretty as yours. But, I'm happy to have anything blooming this time of year.
