Strawflowers are my favourite! These are lovely, well done! I know they can be challenging to start from seed .. clearly you are an expert level gardener!!

Aw, thank you, Heather!!! It‘s trial and error all the way, and sometimes I‘m lucky! :-)

I had to look up their English name and found different ones. I went for "strawflower" because these are Xerochrysum bracteatum (haha, I'm not showing off, had to look that up too), which are called "Strohblume" in German, which is the literal translation of strawflower.

I don’t name my plants because I think it’s bad luck because when I’ve tried it they’ve died and I have a relatively green thumb.

Potted plants desperately need drainage. When re-potting, add new soil and regularly feed with plant food. I'm the proud mom of a 47 year old Christmas cactus

This one is an arisaema (commonly called Jack in the pulpit or cobra lily). But the flower is similar to some pitcher plants.

Kind of cheating since the pretty pink things (bracts) are just pretending to be flowers. The actual bougainvillea flowers are tiny and hide inside those bracts.

Thank you! I bought it in the spring last year in a gallon pot. I think it's enjoying its location.

One of the few flowers that are considered "true blue". It's a rare color in nature.

I grow carnivorous plants ("carnies"). To prolong their non-dormancy period, cut off any flower stalks that develop.

I have one of these in my yard, too, and also Rose of Sharon, in various colors, like in the post below this one. Each summer I have hundreds of japanese beetles devour these blooms, though. I hate to use bug dust on them, but I've had to do that in the past. Do you have probs with those beetles, too? Any suggestions? thanx

Enjoy seeing everyones amazing flowers & plants here. I missed seeing this article, its been a hectic week, but now it says it's 'closed'. Next time I'll post pics of some of my flowers & plants, some in my yard, some in pots. If anyone has info on how to safely get rid of the dreaded Japanese Beetles, they've arrived back in our area, devouring every bloom they land on. I hate to use bug dust, any ideas? They love white & yellow blooms especially, but this yr. are eating my pink & purple flowers, too. :-(
