Happy Blooms

Having flowers intermingled among my veggies and basil provides so much satisfaction. Not knowing how long it will take for the oranges to ripen, my next pepper to grow, my herbs to fill out....it's nice to have the instant satisfaction of constantly blooming flowers. 

These are a butter colored variety of petunias. I had never seen ones like it before, and I find the delicate sunburst of yellow to be so cheery.  The plant has gotten rather leggy. I need to get better at pruning it back, but I always feel guilty pinching back a perfectly good bud.
