    Such a joy, Melissa, to see your photography and your garden gems. I just can’t decide anymore which I look forward to most. These photos are simply perfection. The red zinnia just makes me smile with its simplicity. Fun to see the blooming results of some of my seedlings which didn’t make it this far. Do you have a favorite? I sure could not pick. Are you getting a nice assortment of butterflies? Thanks for sharing your colorful tour!
