Right now there aren't many red, white or blue flowers in my garden. These are the ones I have.

White:- astilbes, daisies in both the front and back garden, oak-leaf hydrangeas in the back garden, cleome and white beach roses (Rosa Ragusa) by the side-walk.

Red:- astilbes, dianthus, impatiens and zinnias.

Blue:- borage, delphinium, pansies and hydrangeas (which is light blue).

(Note:It's too early for the blue plumbago to flower. I do miss the blue alliums.)

I found some red, white and blue flower arrangements in my picture file, using the flowers from my garden, dated back to 2002. Coral bells, daisies and alliums were used in one arrangement. I had to laugh looking at the other two which I resorted to using blue vases.

Blue flowers, suitable for flower arrangements, are always more difficult to find.

These are the arrangements I made this week.

Happy Fourth of July, 2009.
