Waiting On Flowers To Bloom

It's June, and my flower gardens are growing like crazy.  I have red & white dahlia and chickweed flowers in a small flowerbed by my front entrance, along with some type of bright pink and white oriental lillies.  I still have some yellow pansies in that bed, but they're starting to look rather sad.

I'm still waiting (trying to be patient) for most of the flowers (perennials) to bloom...we've been having rather cool temps. here in CT the past few days (no complaints from me though!).

I planted some nasturtium seeds in my window box about two weeks ago, and they are almost a foot tall.  I'm hoping they'll get flowers soon, but I read that they like "poor" soil for flowering.  I used potting soil, so we'll see.

Keep on gardening everyone!
