“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” ~Zen Shin
Lots of annual flowers are showing up finally. I thought I’d cut some and start putting them in vases. Sun is starting to rise later, and cooler temps are sneaking in. So a few months before frost will inevitably set in to stop the abundance. It is hard to choose, but I will start slow.
Zinnias…I think I will wait for another week of a vaseful.

The beginning of the only dahlia that decided to bloom, ‘Break Out’….Yes they will be lovely.

Oh yes, that is perfection! So many flowers to choose from, but it is no contest. They will each have their time to shine.
With this vase, I am also joining in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
