The Flowers of Summer

Summer is the time of flowers.  They can be seen in sculptured gardens amidst well-manicured lawns and in riotous masses by the roadside.  In my yard I have black-eyed Susan's just coming into bloom and fragrant three foot phlox with its wonderful scent reminiscent of lilac.  I have lavender and chamomile with their blooms of purple, white and yellow sprinkled about my yards.

While Autumn is my favorite season, I can't help but be joyful when I look out on my beautiful garden with its cacophony of color like a symphony for the eyes.

I chose some wonderful florals from the Blogging Again Ring on FaceBook to feature in my ode to summer flowers.

Valerie's Stuff on Etsy is a prime example of abstract art mirroring life.  Her wonderful pieces are a riot of color, just like a summer garden.

While this piece is an obvious abstract, it reminds me of a flower.

These pieces by Pottery Heaven on Etsy also remind me of flowers.  Their subtle colors are soothing to the eye.
