CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had some prize winning Zinnias last summer. Our little squirel friends tried digging them up every morning. I ened up surrendering the Zinnias to them since they apprecited them so. Each morning I came to the garden, I just fixed the soil and surprisingly most of them survived.The squirels seemed to not like the Geraniums at all.
Dahlia is on my favorite list...very easy to grow where I live.
Another Dahlia...they come in many types and sizes. I grow the short ones for the tall ones can go over your head. Buchart Gardens has all the varieties.
I had a few nice Daisy like this one and in multiple colors. I paid a good price for them. I was able to keep them protected from the squirels TeeeHeeeee.
Petunia in my Midwest garden are a standard filler. I pick the colors same as those I post here.
A touch of Merigold are delightful.
For the color RED I always choose the standard Geranium shown here. However I do purchase The Martha Washington too when they are available.

Lobelia Star
Heather...I am having difficulty finding a good photo of Heather. This will have to do for now
What a gorgeous array of colors...

A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile,
available, and desirable, ioozing with nectar.
Its smell reminds us in ways of fertility, vigor, life-force,
all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth.
We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages,
we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with joy.

Wikipedia says:
"Narcissus is the botanic name for a genus of hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs. There are several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all narcissus."
