One last look at the lovely purple petunias before they start to die down as it cools here in Toronto.
Petunias are such and easy flower to grow. They look good in a hanging basket or planter on their own or combined with other flowers such as snapdragons, spikes, small hosta, and annual geraniums (Pelargonium).
I’ve found that butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds enjoy petunias as well.
BTW if you want to see a beautiful rose please visit my photoblog Breath of Life Photography.

Update – wow, I was dozing when I made this post. Two weeks later I finally realize I never gave it a title! Duh!
this flowers really nead some water.
I love petunias, but they don’t like me, or they don’t like the weather here. Too hot, too windy, too dry, too everything. They always end with midew. I’ve decided not to plant some next year and to find another plant. Sigh!
No Hoto that’s what Petunias look like. There’s a combination of flowers that are dying down and ones that are blooming in their floppy delicate way. LOL. They aren’t thirsty – just naturally floppy.
Wow I’ve never had petunias end up mildewy. That’s strange Vero.
i should really lern more about flower. but there is always so much to do and the time is running sooooooo fast.
