My summer flowers

Hi Mom,
Here are some pictures of my summer flowers.
 Zinnias, that's a 6 foot fence behind the flowers.
 Bella is checking out my sky garden.
 I'm trying to train the Amandavilla vine to grow up around the hanging fern. It's getting there slowly but surely....
 Crepe Myrtle trees are in full bloom.  Pink begonias with an Iris planted in the center and some potted impatiens back under the trees.
 These red begonias have a Hibiscus tree growing in the center of them.
 This was supposed to look just like the other pot, but I had planted alyssum last year and it came up again this year.
 I almost lost this Rose of Sharon bush to a hard freeze over the winter.  It froze back to ground level and this is the first bloom of the year for it.
The wave petunias did not do as well this year as usual.  I had a lot of Japenese beetles get into them.
