Hanging like vintage sentries, two hanging flower baskets flank, and adorn a century old red brick doorway. Commercial flower baskets, so lovely, full of color, texture and often scents, they can brighten a patio or doorway. Around my local town of Burien and in Seattle, urns and hanging baskets of flowers bring cheer to customers, employees and visitors. Okay, I confess, I’m not the best gardener. There I said it, but there must be a secret that I don’t know, because my hanging baskets of flowers never look lush and healthy like these. Is it the fertilizer, potting soil, timed watering system, what?? Also, I often see nasturtiums in baskets and they never have aphids (even at the end of the season), my nasturtiums always do even early on. Are you a good gardener? Are you a secret holder? Are you a secret teller? If you know the answers to my pondering questions, do tell!!!

beautiful on that brick!
I agree, I think it makes it more beautiful.
I love that old brick building.
HOw beautiful. Great capture!!!
Have a blessed day…♥
Very good! I like those flowers, exquisite composition, beautiful colors and textures.
These flower baskets have nice color and look lush. I’m like you. I put out flower baskets and flower boxes, but I don’t go nuts on the fertilization so they don’t thrive like the commercially prepared ones do.
What a beautiful photo! I love the look of the bricks.
Those are some beautiful lush flower baskets! I don’t have the knack for that either…
I really like seeing all the “changes” that the building has undergone over the years!! :)
These baskets of flowers are beautiful and do look great against the brick texture. I am definitely no gardener either – my yard is very “nature” and “native”. There is my secret:)
WOW! You sure do live in a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for the follow. Lynne
So beautiful! Those flowers are amazing.
Some people have the talent with gardens and some with taking photographs of them
Lovely hanging baskets on that wonderful old brick building!
Beautiful capture. Have a fabulous week.

Have a great week ahead!
That is a beautiful shot! I love the old bricks. My plants seem to be sorely neglected lately, but those are very nice.
I am so glad you shared it on Mandarin Orange Monday:) Those rustic bricks look great against the pretty flowers. Thanks for being part of MoM:)
Visiting from MOM. This is such a beautiful photo, the red brick is just fabulous. Your nasturtiums are in the same company as mine! I didn’t bother with them this year. I wish I knew the secret.
This is such a gorgeous shot, Madge! How do you find them? :)
