This Week's Photo: Blooms and Death

 



I've mentioned before that I've got a black thumb. Even when I buy gorgeous, pre-potted plants, I can't really keep them alive all summer. The pots on the deck are now a gothic mixture of beauty and death. Still some lovely blooms despite a high of 57 yesterday, but plenty of neglected, brown stems and dead flowers, too.
