Yellow 4oclocks



Purple spotted 4oclocks




black eyed susan,,, interesting the one on the right has 3 centers> but it also looks like it tried to be dbl petaled..

Pretty flowers, Diane!

That triple centered black eyed suzie is very strange indeed!

I like them Diane!

Hey Lynne, how come you don't do red flowers?

Those were nice flowers.
I second the motion , why no reds??????
I have reds ..........Tkhooper sent me zinnias red .........I really like them.
Ps 4oclocks are in full bloom here in zone 5 ......Will be till frost.

loz and Dodge - hey that rhymes!

I think I've told the story... when I was little I had a coloring book with a picture of a train. First I colored it one color - not sure if it was red or green, but didn't like it, so I colored over that with the other color - either red or green. Know what those two colors look like mixed together??? VOMIT!

Ever since then, I don't like red and green together - ergo...
no RED flowers! Well... only a few small ones for my hummers!

Well darn that coloring book!

Red is my favorite color! I tend to do all different colors though, my gardens are just a mish mosh of things thrown together, crammed wherever I can get them. I like the victorian "full" look.

One cool thing was I had black Hollyhocks this year courtesy of Sheri....very weird having black flowers. Athena said, ewww why do you have black flowers!

That's funny, loz! I've never seen true black flowers - the ones I've seen labeled black were really a very dark shade of purple.

I've seen black violets.

I know some people, who shall remain nameless Lynne, don't like red, but I think this red with speckled white balsam Loz sent me and colea is so pretty. I think Loz called it balsam. We always called them touch me nots because the seed pod will pop open.

AHEM!!! I resemble that remark!

I don't mind that red, Sheri, especially with the white speckles.
It's the very bright solid reds that usually do me in, though I am really liking my pineapple sage this year!

do you have a picture of your pineapple sage? I don't know what it looks like. That speckled red is very pretty. I've taken bunches of pictures of it because it's so lovely.

I have a post here in gardener's chat with pictures - I think it's way down the first page

I'm on page 3 and haven't found it.

I just found it too. Thanks. That is so pretty. Do you eat it?

I personally do not, but some do. I'm not a big herb person in my foods, but I LOVE the way the leaves smell when they are rubbed or crushed!!!

that's how I am. I don't drink peppermint tea or perilla tea but I grow them because I love the smell.

my 4 o'clocks were blooming this morning at 10:00AM. What kind of world am I living in?

We're living in a good world..........
Then your into 4 oclocks huh? well that isnt the time.. It is just a name I think.

So are you getting any seeds on the Pink stripie 4 oclock?/ I might ask for some?

I have pink ,white, yellow, and yellow red stripie.. I cant find seeds on yellow stripie......Yet.

They grow like nuts here.........Do you want postage?

barb

that's the only blooms that has looked like that. Wierd. I'll send you seeds from that particular plant when I see some but I'm not sure if they'll turn out that color. All the others are colored like the 2nd picture.

I dont want any solid colors...................

It's your day off.
