More flowers

Yesterday afternoon, I hauled the kids to Lowe's and we picked up a bunch of annuals. More than I had planned on putting in as I wanted more room for perennials, but they were all so pretty! And I probably put in more than is necessary as they are all mounding and fast growing types, but hey, can you really have too many flowers?

We put in Mexican Heather (Esther kept wanting to know where the Esther flowers were), zinnias, and gomphrena. I'd never heard of it before, but was struck by the gorgeous fuzzy purple buds that I just had to get some.

I am really looking forward to seeing them fill out and create a wash of color in our front yard. Hooray! Now to decide on some perennials to fill in the gaps.
