Sarah's Garden Summer Color

"But to leave the house and go to the garden - I wish I could set you in it this moment while the dew is on the flowers - such a wealth of Scarlet Geraniums, Tiger Lilies, Verbenas - Candy Kiss Gladiolas coming into bloom and various other annuals would gladden your eyes while the mignonette would refresh your senses generally. O! if I could place some Geraniums in your little front yard - How happy it would make me - to know they were making glad your eyes. Several Petunias and other annuals come up from seeds dropped last spring."

Letter 7/27/1872

One of Sarah's favorites was the white Madonna Lily. Also thriving in the summer are the geraniums, California poppies, larkspur, phlox, petunia and zinnia.
