I have many flowers blooming in containers right now, both in the yard and grouped all over my porches and decks. Fortunately, we have had enough rain lately that it hasn’t been too much work to keep them all watered. I love combining different textures and colors in all types of containers. Here are some of mine in bloom right now. Click any of the photos to view a larger version.

Hi Sherry, I love all of these but the Violas and alyssum caught my attention the most as they look like little butterflies…. OK, maybe I do need glasses but they really do… LOL
Hi Spider,
I like those too, love the color combination and they -do- look kind of like butterflies! :) Thanks for commenting.

Oh, how beautiful! Before our trip, I never had time to go get flowers for my few containers (I could never keep up with as many as you have. And even if I could, I couldn’t keep them so beautiful.) Now that we’re back, I wonder if it’s’ too late to even bother. Maybe this year I’ll just enjoy yours!
Hi Louise,
Good to hear from you, and I hope you had a great vacation.
Nah, it’s not too late, summer hasn’t even officially started yet! :)

You have just given me some wonderful ideas for containers! Gorgeous, gorgeous. I am just catching up with you today. Our summer’s day one is cool and rainy here. Things are just getting going.
Quietpaths, thank you! I’m glad you got some ideas from the post. I do love mixing flowers in containers.
Our first day of summer was 96 degrees and -humid-! We did get thunderstorms though.
Thanks for visiting.
