Looking closely at favorite flowers

Today we ’re savour some photos from Mary Murphy .

A few year ago I sent you pic ofmy garden and ice lantern . Today ’s photos are all close - ups . Look for some surprisal visitors ! There are a dyad of tree diagram frogs in some of the photos . I populate in Minnetonka , Minnesota , and have been gardening for about fifteen years . I just love it , and I assay new plants from germ every year . I also ca n’t balk some beautiful nursery gem .

Breadseed poppy ( Papaversomniferum , one-year ) . This plant is indeed the source of the poppy seeds in your poppy semen muffin , but the flowers are pretty arresting as well . They come in a wide chain of color , ranging from dark reds and purples to lenient pink like this and onto blanched .

Delphiniumelatum(Zones 3–8 ) is famous for its depressed flush and its love of coolheaded weather .

Four o’clock ( Mirabilisjalapa , Zones 7–11 or as an annual ) has flower buds ready to pop open in , as the name suggests , the late afternoon .

gentle pinkhollyhock(Alcearosea , Zones 3–8 ) is a classic cottage - garden flower usually grow as a biennial . It grow just leaves the first year , then huge spire of these incredible heyday the second yr . As you’re able to see , the bees are big buff as well .

Asunflower(Helianthusannuus , yearly ) bud gets quick to open up , although it already looks unbelievable .

Larkspur(Consolidaajacis , annual ) wait a great deal like delphiniums but are speedy - grow annual rather than perennial .

‘ Rosella ’s Dream ’ lily ( Lilium‘Rosella ’s Dream ’ , Zones 3–8 ) open unbelievable pinkish bloom with counterpoint dark stamens .

A little tree diagram toad hang out on a rudbeckia ( Rudbeckiahirta , Zones 3–7 ) .
