But after enjoying a cup of tea on the balcony today and finally taking in the entire look I've decided that I like things the way they are. It makes me happy! And besides, it's the just balcony, should I grow tired of all the colors I can just go back to more subtle pastels next summer.

This is one of the colors I've worried about the most. It's a little
bit too red for my taste (it looked more pinkish when I bought it)

This one I love though

And this one as well, obviously

This color is a lot darker IRL, more like the bud you can see to the left

And this is probably the most unique of the colors

This one is hard to take photos of, it's bluer and darker IRL. Classic Petunia purple

And this is a bit warmer, more coral IRL

This is a better photo of the same flower
The 10th Petunia (to the right in the box above) is a wonderful, pale lavender plant but it doesn't have any flowers right now.

Tea on the balcony

It's a rare treat to be able to drink tea on the balcony in the middle of the day. When it's sunny it's usually WAY too hot to stay more than a few minutes once the sun has reached around the house (the balcony is facing west and gets loads of sun) And what's worse, since there's a pizza place downstairs the customers and the owners love to smoke below my balcony (you're not allowed to smoke inside restaurants and public places in Sweden) and because of my asthma that always forces me indoors. Arrrghhhhh!!!!!
Today was a lovely day though, the temperature was just right and the smokers left me alone for a long time. After a while the sun disappeared behind dark clouds though and shortly I've I'd went back in it started to hail
