Balcony Flowers 2014


After 4 years of balcony flowers, we thought we had it all figured out this year. We were going to go with all geraniums, and have them all hang over the sides and tumble down the side of our balcony and it would look awesome. But then we went to the garden store in May to buy the flowers and couldn't resist all of the pretty purples and pinks and especially the hybrid ones with both white and pink in each petal. So ... we ended up with 5 different types of geraniums in 7 boxes. And they're kind of all over the place with some growing straight up and tall, some growing straight up and short, and some hanging over the sides and tumbling down to different degrees. But I love all the color. Below are all the flowers, from different angles. It's impossible to get them all into one photograph.



And last but not least I planted impatiens in the ground planter this year. Finally, something that won't die halfway through the summer! Although Onyx really likes to chew on the leaves so we'll see.
