I've just got gobs of lilies, celosia, and zinnias right now. 

My favorite celosia so far this year has been forest fire from Fedco. The bucket pictured doesn't even do justice to the huge orange/red plumes this mix throws out. The seed is cheep too! The Cramers' burgundy I ordered from Johnny's turned out to be more  fuchsia than burgundy. I think they may have sent me the wrong seed in the packet labeled burgundy because there is another one in the Cramers' series called Rose, and it looks very similar.... 

For zinnias, Benary's Giant wine and scarlet (from Fedco) have been spot on, but I have been the most impressed with the Giant Dahlia orange from Johnny's. It is keeping up in the doubles race! 

Not all of my lilies have come into bloom, but so far Original Love and Nashville are winning because of their vibrant color and long stems. 

It's August already! It's amazing how many flowers have already come and gone, and that some things are finally blooming. I've been waiting a long while for the lisianthus to bloom. It takes its time to mature, but boy is it worth it for these gorgeous rose-like blooms! The sedum pictured is Autumn Joy. Normally you see it in landscapes with its red/dark pink color, but I like to pick it when it looks like broccoli to add greenery to the bouquets.
