Despite the wind and the rain, many of the flowers in the garden are thriving as though the weather holds no fear for them at all. Many seem actually to be enjoying our Summer. One of our annual staples both in pots and in the ground is the beautiful Cosmos which look so wispy that it’s a wonder they survive at all. For the flowers I used mixes of Permanent Rose, Quinacridone Magenta, and Cobalt blue. The central button is Lemon yellow, New Gamboge and a spot of Rose. New Gamboge, Permanent Sap green and a little French Ultramarine in various mixes, made up the greens.
