The Fourth of July brings an abundance of blooms and I couldn't resist featuring them here in my patriotic ode to Independence Day. Not only are these flowers blooming right now, they also happen to be the colors of red, white and blue.
Bachelor's Buttons, an annual flower that is a true blue in the garden, represents the blue: Feverfew, an herb known for helping to ease migraines, stands for the white and Monarda with it's spiky firecracker type petals proclaims the red of Old Glory.
Seems like even the flowers will be celebrating this day...
Happy Fourth and blessings!
