Phlowers – Patriotic Mix – IAVOM

On By TimelessladyIn Phlowers

My choices for IAVOM (In A Vase on Monday) are definitely along the patriotic lines and use red, white and blue flower choices.

Along with Blue Salvia, White Balsam and Alyssum, I used one of my favorites, Red Monarda/Bee Balm. This beauty seems to bloom every year just in time for the Fourth of July. In my eyes, it is quite the appropriate flower for July; it resembles bursting fireworks. The Bee Balm is a quick bloomer, and only thrives briefly in my garden beds. Already, it is showing signs of the fungus that plagues it every year. Somehow, it survives the blight and returns for me every year.

Monarda/Bee Balm is my choice for Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge.

  8. I have been busy in the garden this week and away from my laptop, so am only just catching up with later comments – sorry.

    Your IAVOM contribution is SO effective, and the vase the blooms and flag are in adds to the effectiveness. Inspired!!
