.Somehow this year my garden got the pinks. As I worked in the garden this week, I noticed there is a heck of a lot of pink out there.
The coleus cuttings turned out to be many shades of pink and pink accents. A neighbor gave me a left-over flat of pink impatiens so I paired them with the pink coleus.

and in the ground.
Other annuals - pink cosmos and cleome .
Even the pot of zinnias Giant Flowered Mix and California Giant is predominately pink.
The perennials I’ve planted over the years are many shades of pink. A lot of them were gifts from friendly gardeners.
Saucer sized hardy hibiscus (from a neighbor)
Cone flowers (from a neighborhood school plant sale)
Garden phlox (from a friend)
Mum Clara Curtis (actually bought this one myself).

Pink everywhere. A happy accident.

It's a good accident! Wonderful pinks! My cleomes are very small - such late summer we are having here...
Tatyana,
My cleome are not as good looking as other years. It is mostly from the hot dry weather we've been having. The flowers actually shrivel up in the afternoon. I hope they will be prettier in the fall.
