Why don't my flowers look like this?

Aren't they stunning? They were growing in a planter outside a function hall in Jerusalem where we attended a friend's son's Bar Mitzvah this past weekend. And some of them are even red, too. Very convenient that.

  1. So pretty .. my window box begonias were looking a little frazzled this morning, makes me wonder what the heck went on while I was away

  2. Lovely shot. Perhaps it is easier to grow flowers in higher up Jerusalem than in sandy Tel Aviv? Though you once showed us the beautiful flowers grown in Eilat - those people are working magic.

  5. An explosion of wonderful shades of red. Are they really begonias? I'd go for a variety of pelargonium.
    They, they are my favorite summer garden flower.
    Gorgeous sight anyway.

  9. Flowers like look that way as they have a paid gardner tending to them. It is not the same in our own gardens, we don't have perfection yet we are loving with our flowers and plants. Our gardens are not for profit, but exist to our sense of beauty...

  15. Well, Robin, my guess that it that they belong to someone else. I would say that if I were to look at yours.
    Happy RT! :)

  21. No one ever thinks that red and pink meld yet this gorgeous photo that you've taken shows just how beautifully well they go together.

  23. Mine don't look like this as well. Of course, if I watered my flowers once in a while that might help. :)
