Zinnias, zinnias, zinnias!
Double yellow alcea (hollyhock) found in the "summer carnival" mix and an unknown unusual hollyhock.
I love my pinks! Their sweet clovey smell is my favorite garden fragrance. On the left, an alpine pink (dianthus alpinus), on the left a cheddar pink.
'Bright lights' cosmos
An unnamed dark color cosmos
Centaurea (bachelor's buttons)
'Rose queen' cleome (spiderflower)- an outstanding annual reseeder and an unnamed bitone cleome.
Leucanthum superbum 'Miss Muffett' (shasta daisy)
I scored these magnificent 'plum tart' gladiolus from Wal-Mart. I get many complements on the striking colors of these glads. The peach one was a 'bonus' in the bag-- ie it wasn't supposed to be there, but I like it anyway.
Hostas never get any credit for having interesting flowers!
I just love my Oak Leaf Hydrangea!
I got the seeds for these ruellia (wild petunia) from a gal in Texas.
'Moonbeam' coreopsis have dainty flowers that don't photograph well, but they are really reliable bloomers in the garden.
Lovely pink, red and fuschia perennial poppies I coerced into flowering in the very first year.
Unknown triple rudbeckia.
More Zinnias!
