Flower Beds: Pinks, Purples, Blues and Yellows!

Flower beds are a great way to liven up any yard or garden. Those vibrant colors just brighten up the yard. You can buy flowers from seeds or you can go to your local nursery to but the plants. Seeds cost much less but if you buy the plants you will have flowers much sooner. Be careful to pay attention to whether the flowers are annuals or perennials. Annuals will die when the season is over and you'll have to plant them again next year. Perennials on the other hand, keep flowering year after year.

My top pick for adding color and pizazz to a garden is sunflowers. They are huge however, so not the best pick if you are going for subtlety. They can grow over 6 feet tall and are bright yellow. As a plus you can also take the seeds and dry them and have your own homemade sunflower seeds.
