Some flower pics

A few of the hardy glads I put in this Spring. They were an assortment of colors, think I got some nice ones:

This sunflower came up by itself; never planted it!

And this is the yellow waterlily ///

What stunning colours Eileen, they look beautiful!

I love the delicate lemon colour of the water lily too..

Lucky you having a free sunflower ...... some kind bird must have dropped you a seed!

What a beautiful selection.....The colours are gorgeous...

Gosh Eileen - they are stunning blooms!!

I particularly like the two-tone (I'm sure that's not the correct terminology!! lol) pink and yellow glads - gorgeous!!

I'll have to post some pics of my garden when the sun decides to come out in this country!!!

They are gorgeous, I love the pink one!

Thanks all! The thing I like about these glads is that they're supposed to be cold hardy and not require digging and storing over Winter. We shall see...

I suspect the sunflower seed came from the bird feeder out front; it never occurred to me to plant any of the seeds from the bird seed...may do it next year!

Charlie: technically it's a bi-color... but pretty, isn't it?

[charliebubs]

Ah-ha! bi-colour - not that technical after all!!! Same as bi-colour cats

very pretty though

Oh i'm forever picking them out from under the bird feeder where the birds spill them and they start growing!

My birds must be very greedy; there's usually nothing under mine but chaff! But I do have mourning doves which are ground feeders...maybe they clean it up!

Those gladies are really lovely Eileen. Somehow they look more delicate that the rather blousey ones that are generally grown here. Do you have any trouble with earwigs? Don't know if you get them in U.S. - they love gladies over here!
