Flower Power Update

We were gone for a couple weeks and we left my neighbors flowers with another friend of ours.
The purple ones are struggling and I think it got too hot for them last week. This week has been cooler and we have been nursing them back to full strength. They are doing better each day I think!Here is what they looked like when we left. The purple ones were doing really well!
The sweet pea flowers bloomed a little bit which was exciting! They are the pink and white ones in the middle.
These ones on the end were just starting to bloom! I was sad to leave and miss the action! I could see the pink in the middle, and about four or five other buds that were close behind this one!
When we got back, the purple ones looked like they had a rough time
There was one giant sweet pea this morning, but when I went to take pictures this afternoon, it was missing. I hope we don't have flower snatching neighbors!!! There are three more pea pod looking buds that are about ready to bloom and they better not disappear!
These ones on the end are beautiful!! They are so tall and bright and were such a pleasant surprise to see!! I think that since they were planted so close together they feel like they need to reach out to show how strong and beautiful they are! I love them! I am sure Brett and Emily are so proud of these big guys!
I will see what I can do to doctor the purple guys back to full strength. . . unless their season of blooming is done now and their show is over now. I hope not, but we will just have to wait and see!
