I haven’t deadheaded any of my flowers lately because, well, I like to look at them through all stages of life. I know some of the zinnias and other flowers are all dried up. But I’ve watched them for weeks on end now, from being tiny seedlings to little buds to full flowers. So I think it’s only right that I keep a few of the “gray-haired” ones around, too!

On this lovely September Saturday afternoon, I’ve decided to share photos of my flowers in various life stages. I think they’re all beautiful. I hope you enjoy them.
