Zinnia flowers come in all sizes, colors and shapes. They are annual, sun-loving flowers and are grown in the garden from seeds and make wonderful cut flowers for the home.
Clematis flowers are perennial, meaning they will grow back every year, if planted properly and watered. They grow on a vine and come in many colors and varieties. They add great color and foliage to fences and trellises.
I love the many colorful subjects I can find along intimate mountain creeks! Here, Virginia Creeper attaches itself to an elm tree near Bear Creek, southwest of Colorado Springs.
