About four feet out my front door, to be exact. It took us years to find perennials to survive in that little space, but these have been great: a colorful, cheery shot of joy to start your day. They bloom all summer and well into the fall in full Texas sun.
Alas, the flowers last only a day. They are tissue paper. It's a reminder of the fragility and beauty of life, cleaning out my little flower bed.

Very pretty pictures!
As rough a morning as the small person and I had Monday, when I turned around to tell her to close the front door a saw a bunch of flaming scarlet flowers stuck to the pale grey shingles of my front porch roof. The trees next to it flower in pink and white, so I have no idea where it came from.
It was so striking I caught my breath and stopped dead in the middle of my bad mood to take a picture.
the photos are striking and I love the the final one. Truly a reminder of how fragile life is.
Great photos. Love them.
