Ah flowers! I grow marigolds, cosmos, verbennia, pansys, and loads more! I like to put flowers in containers, and place the containers around my homestead. I would love to have a garden of wild flowers!

We have a very large flower garden. Or should I say multiple flower gardens. We have a wildflower garden, a rose garden, a double perinneal border, and the start of a herb garden.
We grow among others:
Roses: Mister Lincoln, Oregold, Chicago Peace, Medallion, John cabot, Peace, Europeana, Gene Boerner, Garden Party, Yellow Doll, and a variety of Wild Rose.
As for flowers, ahem we grow:
Marigolds Black Eyed Susans Forget Me Nots Daylilies Foxglove Rudbeckia Sunflowers Shasta Daisy Honey Suckle Cockscomb Buttercups Tulips Four O Clocks Pansies
Wildflowers:
Butterfly Weed Purple Clover Purple Coneflowers Candytuft Nasturtiums Queen Anne's Lace Sweet Williams Yarrow Mexican Hats Indian Blankets Baby's Breath Black Eyed Susans Asters Snapdragons Phlox Flax
We also have flowering bushes: Rose of sharon and snowballs
I used to hate growing flowers but nowadays that i'm hitting retirement we can't live without them. We plant more perienneal than anything, mainly because I like em coming back every year.
This year I really want to start a massive Herb garden, mostly culinary thou.
This year I will be saving alot of seeds, so next year we can double the size of our walking paths. I'm tire of cutting all that grass.
