Still blooming in 2020.
2019 had so many happy days...
This is a lovely reminder of life how it once was.
I first got this plant in 2017.

Luckily, I wintered last Summer's (2019) seasonal petunias inside our Solar Room. Unable to go to the garden store this Spring because of the pandemic, I still had these pretty flowers to put out on the deck for the Summer of 2020.

Every bit of cheerfulness helps during these trying times.
Stay-at-Home isolation continues...
