Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!"  The vincas in our deck box are thriving despite the summer heat.

So far the Mr. Optimist dahlias are the only large ones blooming but others have buds so I hope to see some soon (we have three other varieties planted).

That package of "red" giant zinnia seeds has surprised us with orange, pink, white and other shades of zinnias as well.

Thankfully it did provide a handful of red zinnias too. The bees love all the colors.

Day lily season is still going strong. I love the extra bright inner shade of the yellow frilly day lilies.

That's all for this week's mini garden tour. Thank you for joining me! May God bless you!
