Top Ten Flowers for Summer Color

My husband and I love to shop for flowers and I love finding new varieties!  While shopping this spring, we found these delightful flowers that would bring a lot of color to your outdoor spaces.  In our Garden Club we suggest parents and children identify the colors in these flowers.  It sparks a lot of discussion, especially with kindergarteners who are learning there are a lot of names for pink!

Grown ups, these flowers are planted around our home and give us a summer lengths enjoyment with some simple care of watering, deadheading and feeding.

Kids, to make it even more fun, download this adorable BINGO Flower Color printable below for your neighborhood walk.  Maybe you can talk your parents into a prize!



1. Gerbera Daisies

2.  Lemon Slice Petunias

3.   Marigolds

4.   Geraniums


7.   Begonias


8.  Knock Out Roses


9.   Dahlia

  
10.  Lantana


And for all you who were wanting the Flower Bingo Card...here it is!

  2. I love marigolds! Yesterday one of my friends on IG posted a vanilla marigold on her feed, I had never seen one before it's beautiful, but I still prefer the bright pop of color of a marigold. I'm new to the PNW, and right now there are tons of different flowers that are new to me, I'm loving them. I'm partial to bluebonnets though. ;)

  7. I've always loved the daisies because there is so much different colors and they look so great when there's a bunch of them. I have roses in my front yard and I can't wait for them to bloom.
