What are the beautiful pink flowers behind the black eyed susan's (next to the chain link fence). They look like pink bell flowers, but much taller than I've ever seen. Very beautiful.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578327597642131518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-29066650128077105762009-08-07T03:03:07.814-03:002009-08-07T03:03:07.814-03:00Not sure what happened with the comment just poste...Not sure what happened with the comment just posted, but I did want to say:<br /> <br />"I'm proud of you"!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674744363465133401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-29628916311273474912009-08-07T03:00:58.248-03:002009-08-07T03:00:58.248-03:00I enjoyed my walk through your garden just now!!! ...I enjoyed my walk through your garden just now!!!
