2022 flowers & garden

A whole bunch of various plants, some ready to go into the ground others will stay in the pots...

I love all of the photos, on this page and the previous page!(y)(y)(y)
Thank you to all of you, for those!:love:

And yes, that middle one is a peony.

I love the tall cleomes, that your neighbor planted last year, I think, @OneEyedDiva
Those are also called spider plants by some people.

It's wonderful to see the varieties that each of you planted!😀

Earlier in the year, I mixed together various pks of flower seeds and scattered them at the edge of the woods...and promptly forgot about them. With all of the recent rain, the first flower has decided to open....View attachment 235765

Cheerful and strong little zinnia, there, Trila!:D It won the plant competition for a bit of sunlight for itself! :LOL:

And how about those dark purple cone shaped leaves, on something else! I wonder what that is!

Possibly wandering ivies, of 2 types, ? .....that one and the green rigged edge in the foreground of your picture.?
 
Hollyhocks are blooming late, this year, just getting started flowering this past week,
but there's a bicolor, nearby outside my window, with a tall spike of several unique blooms on it. 😀

Thank you! I don't remember where I got them, I'm sure someone gave them to me, though. They seem to bloom the day after getting watered.

I spent years, struggling to get them to grow, and to keep them alive (in the house) over the winter. I must have been doing it all wrong, because I have quite a few of them, and they are all thriving! The ones in the bucket (with Andy) will get dug up in the late fall and put it a pot in the house over the winter. However, I think I have about a dozen more that I put in the ground last year....and they came back in the spring! Even though I don't water them, the plants are thick and healthy. Then they bloom after we get rain.

I love hollyhocks! I remember them from my grandma's house. I can't grow them at all! Do you have the doubles or singles?

They're singles, yet still so striking in their simplicity!
This one is a bicolor, of burgundy and white. Lovely! :)
 
@Liberty I love that Crossandra! Unfortunately, it's not a perennial here and has never been available at the garden centers until late summer/early fall.

It's almost time to be planting cool-weather flowers like snapdragons. There were lots of them calling my name the other day when we were at the garden centers.

It's a little early for crysanthemums, but there were loads of them at both garden centers. They were all already blooming, dammit. I don't want them to be blooming. I want them to be just budding so that I can pinch them off and delay blooming for another month or so.
