Good morning everyone, a heatwave is continuing in NJ.
Let’s talk summer porch ideas using flowers in containers and baskets.
Flowers are needing extra care during this extreme heat, therefore watering twice a day is a necessity. A basket on the front door looks pretty filled with deep pink flowers against the black paint.
Take a look at these pink beauties overflowing in their pots adding a warm touch as you approach the door.
How has the heat been where you live?

Happy Sunday! I hope it’s beautiful where you are today. Sit and have a cup of coffee and chat with me. Yesterday morning we must have had brown-headed cowbirds on our lawn. There must have been 1,000s. Yes, 1,000s. I’m telling you I was freaking out It looked like the movie The Birds. They were…

Hi friends, I love finding new treasures, don’t you? Spotting something and falling in love instantly. This is what happened the moment I saw these two very old chalk ware cameo plaques with gilding. I snatched these up immediately. My original plan was to hang them in our master bathroom. After looking at…
Happy sunny Monday morning. Spring has sprung here and the first plants I enjoy are these beauties. This urn has been with us since we moved into our home five years ago. I love the beauty of the urn with its raised pedestal. Violas are my favorite plant to add to our…
Beautiful!!!

Hi Cindy. Your petunias are doing so well too. They like the heat and getting lots of drinks of water on these hot days. Mine are doing good too. We finally have cooled down some so watering only once a day again. Thankful for that. Have a great week.
Thank you Kris this is going to be my flowers from now on. Send some cooler air please. 80 sounds cool to us
Your little porch is so lovely!
So pretty. Petunias in Texas are always a struggle. I love yours. They are beautiful in the pot you made. I hope the heat ends soon.
Hi Katie,
Thanks for stopping by, I’m loving our flowers this summer. I hope this intense heat ends soon.
Your porch is beautiful. Are they real flowers on the door? They pop against the door. Love it Cindy
Yes they are and have been doing well.
These flowers are so beautiful, Cindy! From the basket on your front door to the French flower pot you made each container is fantastic. Your porch is gorgeous. The weather in Florida is hot, humid and rainy every afternoon. I’d never wish away the summer but I am so ready for a break in the hot temps. Hope you’re having a great summer! Hugs, CoCo
I’m not your summer lover, I know how dare I, 🙂. Didn’t like when I was a baby so I’m told.
Thanks for the visit, loving my flowers this year.
Your petunias are gorgeous Cindy! Loving your beautiful summer porch my friend. Thank you for sharing with Charming Homes and Gardens.
Thanks so much Kim!
So pretty, Cindy! Love that pot you made. I really love the basket on the front door. I’ve had enough of the heat – next week looks fabulous, though! I should be watering my plants twice a day – that’s why yours looks so good and mine look meh!
Gorgeous flowers and they all make an impressive welcome to your home!
Thanks so much Allyson
Very pretty, and you sure are correct on watering….seems to be constant here in N.Illinois. So hot, some flowers are kinda giving up …but we will have a week of no 90’s so maybe things will recover! I always love baskets on walls or doors! Sandi
I keep hoping the heat breaks but I guess it’s sunny at least. Thanks for the visit
Your porch is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
Thanks very much Ann. Loving it!
Beautiful! I think this July will go down as the hottest on record (I’m I near Toronto).
I knew it was going to be a hot July and August but this is HOT!
I love your porch!! It’s all so pretty!!! And, I absolutely LOVE the pots that you made! Sooo cute!!!!
that vibrant pink in the basket is just gorgeous against your front door. we call them “million bells” here in Missouri, but not sure the real botanic name. just beautiful!
Cindy, your front porch looks beautiful, and I’m envious of all of your pretty flower pots! They look perfectly country French…my favorite! The hot pink petunias look striking against your black front door. What a gorgeous welcome for your guests! I hope you have a blessed and happy week ahead!
Your front door is absolutely fabulous!!! It is hot and humid here in Texas. I just completely cleaned off my porch yesterday because everything is dead. A cheery wreath of faux flowers will have to do. Hoping your sweet girl does well today.
Thanks Laura. Since those pictures were taken everything us getting messy. It’s been so hot and now heavy rains. I’ll see what happens.
Peanut gets cornea abrasion done Thursday morning to end thus pain. She’s very slowly finding her way.
Thanks for the feature. We have no power right now
Beautiful!! I am just reading that you lost power, Cindy. My youngest brother and sister-in-law lost theirs up in Southbury, Connecticut. Not good… Hang in there! <3 Your super bells are beautiful!!! Prayers for the power to be restored… <3
Hugs,
Barb
We had about 2-3 weeks of hot weather, and now we are back down into the 70s and 80s here, so thankful for that! I don’t care much for the 90-100 degree heat. Your flowers on your front porch look amazing!
Still very humid and warm. I’m not a summer person except for the flowers
