A Floral Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis Monday is sponsored by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH . Make sure to visit her blog and see all the wonderful transformations!

Photobucket

For my Metamorphosis, I am showing something that I really can't take the credit for - my flowers. I picked "put them in the ground and stand back flowers", as opposed to "need lots of watering, fertilizing and care" flowers. SO... I just put them in the ground back in April.

And here they are in June... better stand back a bit!!!!

I hesitate to think what those petunias would look like if I watered or fertilized!!!!

Now go visit Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH for more transformations. :D Jewel

    Oh my goodness! Such beautiful petunias! I am amazed! All of them are gorgeous! Wow! You must have had lots of rain? My petunias only do well in pots and only that when I water, fertilize and pinch back constantly! Which really drives me crazy when I drive by the mall and theirs look like yours! I must be doing something wrong!! lol Have a great week!..Debbie

    What beautiful flowers! I'll have to look for them. I also like the brick walkway - really frames a nice picture of your garden! Linda

    This is gorgeous! Surely you watered AND fertilized these petunias! I water and fertlize mine, and they don't look nearly this good. Your bricks around the sundail and the petunias just make this a magazine worthy photo. laurie

Thank you so much for all your comments! I really do treasure them all. If I don't respond to all of them immediately, it is because I work full time and share a computer at home. Thanks again!!!
