Soft Summer Colors

I normally think of spring for soft pastel colors in the garden but 
as I was weeding this morning, I kept looking at this soft combination
of balloon flowers and pink cone flowers.  They are so pretty that
words don't do them justice.

The soft pinks and blues are so beautiful. I have only white balloon flowers - the blues are lovely.

The color combinations in this mosaic are sweet. That bee knows where to gather doesn't he? Are you having any troubles with Japanese beetles? I can't keep a cone flower to save my soul.

I'm fond of these two flowers too. Your mosaic is very attractive; I like how the coloured lines set off your pretty photos.
