FENCE FLOWERS, INSPIRATION THURSDAY

Fence flowers, image via pinterest
Keeping with the flower and color this season, here is a look we like.  Of course, we don't have a fence like this, but we sure like it.  It's always nice to see some great combinations of color and this is a nice one.  I believe the lower flowers are zinnias...nice combination and great contrast against the green...something we sure have a lot of, hence the need for color, ha.  Hoping to get some more flower beds worked on this weekend.  

Hope you are having a great day!

Be inspired!

    The pink ones look like impatiens to me.

      Oh yeah, those might be impatiens. I didn't think about that. Thanks!

    The yellow Black Eyed Susans are a good thing to plant around evergreens or ornamental plants as they attract bag-worm-killing insects such as parasitoid wasps, and tachinid flies plus they are just darn right pretty and add great color

      Yes, here in the UK we commonly refer to the yellow ones as Rudbeckia or Black Eyed Susan. The shorter pink flowers are petunia's.

    A very pretty, natural look. Some wildflowers mixed in there would be beautiful.

    Just glorious. And yes, we too would call the yellow Rudbeckia or cone flower. Black-eyed Susans are a different plant here in Oz.

    You could build a mock 'feature' fence, just one or two parts, or even a corner, then make your garden around that.

    Black eyed Susan or Rudebeckia and petunias are the pink ones very pretty combination of annuals and perennials in a bed.
