Those are lovely! I wish we could grow jasmine here, but it won't even consider growing in the desert!

Most of my flowers are going to be grown in pots ;0)

Mmmm. I have lavender and marigolds and chamomile and poppies, and will have sunflowers too. Sadly the sweet peas and nasturniums don't take the heat well. I really wanted the nasturniums to eat the flower petals in salads. I may try again in the fall for winter. Happy gardening!
