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.

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.

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.
