This section will show you how tall the Snapdragons are getting and you can see some of the lilac petunias are getting.

Lovely Petunia Blooms Like You've Never Seen!

Just when I think I will not see any pictures better than what I've seen already, pictures like these come out of Diane's camera.  This is 3 different colors of Petunia's in her garden.

Just Petunias

This is a little corner of Diane's garden, the part she calls the "Cool" colors, that would be white, blues and purples.

Ultra Crimson Star Petunias all in a row

These are Diane's favorite color Petunias. From the Park Seed website:

Ultra Crimson Star was the first variety ever to receive an All-America Selection Bedding Plant Award, back in 1988, and for our money it has never been improved upon. These extra-large, ruffled blooms of brightest crimson and white are very uniform, with a crisp, formal look that brightens beds and baskets alike. And the plant is early-blooming, very tolerant of stress, and dependable. It's simply the perfect bedding Petunia!

Ultra Crimson Star's blooms measure 3 to 4 inches wide, with large white stripes intersecting the crimson-red at even intervals. Very weather-resistant, they bounce back after rain much more quickly than most other Petunias. And they are so abundant on compact, well-branched plants just 12 to 14 inches high, 15 to 18 inches wide!

Notice how all 3 of the flowers have a different variance of red stripes. It is very windy in the garden and the flower petals do taking a beating.  You can see one of the flowers has a ripped petal.  Very nice look in her garden.
