Not my favorite flower, but they make a vivid display against the turquoise wall.
See Cee’s incredible hydrangea HERE.
The popular name for this flower is “Seaside Petunia.” Ironic, because I photographed it in Sheridan, Wyoming. Looks like something has been chewing on the bottom flower. Rabbits, perhaps? There is always one in the yard there.
I decided to research the matter, and this is what I discovered:
“Fortunately, petunias are a totally safe food for rabbits, and most rabbits absolutely love them and will eat them by the handful. Rabbits tend to be keen on eating flowers, so if you let your bunny roam free in your garden, be aware that it is likely to nibble at least a few of the pretty petals.” HERE is the source for this information.

I did a closeup of this yarrow plant in my friend Patty’s garden a week or so ago and a friend said it didn’t look like yarrow, so above is a view of the entire plant. HERE is the closeup. I agree, it looks very different close up, but my plant identifier agrees with me that it is yarrow.
