So here is my collection so far. I have not ventured into bulbs yet. I figure I will try those next year. Hubby said we have a sad yard with our weeping cheery tree, weeping conifer and bleeding heart LOL. Not sure what flowers are in the hanging pot we just thought they were such neat flowers. flowers/housefun011.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers/housefun012.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers/housefun013.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/>

Looks very nice! Your pictures are a bit big though, could you please make them smaller? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but your hanging plant looks like a fushia to me. Hummingbirds love those. I started with planting annuals and then I moved on to bulbs. Bulbs are super easy, you just plant them and let them be. Every few years or so you can dig them up and seperate the bulbs because they multiply underground. I haven't done that yet but this is my 3rd year of bulbs blooms so maybe this fall I'll see what's under the dirt.

No problem, if you need any help don't be afraid to ask. I think we all posted too big pictures when we were new here too.

Yep you have a nice mix of gerbers and Osteospermums, the hanging flower is Fushia, Like Chermoni said, and they are very Pretty! I love Fushia! You Live in Washington I see,, I love it there,, Tho only visited I'd love to visit again and again and again ~ Btw Chermoni is right about the picture size,, 640X480 is the pix size for forums,, In taking the dial up users into consideration :wink:

Not sure what an Osteospermums is but I know there is columbine, african violets, dahilias and gerber daisys. I love all the color it makes me happy. Oh the planter box has snapdragons and the small planter has pansys.
