Flower thread 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Beil]

I can't be the only one who enjoys flowers in their garden. So this is for all those who grow their gardens for masses of flowers to showcase their efforts!!
I've been waiting patiently for my Ranunculus to pop, after planting them upside down months ago and getting ~40% germination :/ . They finally did and they're just what I hoped!! The closed ones should open to full show in the vase.
Ranunculus (red, yellow, dark pink ones).
Carnation
Alstroemeria

@Porky that's a fair bloody effort. The lawn border alone looks like it took some planning!
I'm trying to work out what the white and pink ones in the first photo are in the border with the tulips? I thought Dianthus at first, but leaves don't seem right?
Honestly I have so many questions about that display lol.
Self seeded en masse 2nd photo? Seedling grown and planted? What are those pansys (most of them, but mainly the burnt orange and yellow in the barrow) because they are beaut? I didn't even think tulips grow well over here because of the cold snap needed, refrigerator? If that's just a snap shot of your garden I'd love to see what else you have in there.
I think that's enough rapid fire questions for now lol.

Also that lawn is impeccable!

I went with the 'yeah, I'll roll with this' option. I didn't want to be a dick and actually question if it was yours lol.

My little indoors one has buds about to open!
It's almost the opposite colour with white outer and pink inner.

Looking for nitrogen fixers for the back garden that grow nice for aesthetics.
I feel you could camoflauge something in the middle of a load of these lol

 

[Harry bootlace]

Good idea. I plant lucerne/alfalfa but that’s not quite as pretty as those.

Not flowers but beautiful colour!

Nice You must have slightly acidic soil? I actually add camelia / gardenia food (they like slightly acidic soil) on mine so they come out blue. Even adding VERY diluted vigegar will turn them blue.

This wierd weather is doing all sorts of crazy things. I got orchids shooting new canes (whuich normally happens in spring). I got azealea's blooming like crazy, they are normally flowering early autumn around easter. And African daisies going nutz. And hydrangea's flowering months early.

Global warming . Flowers are blooming early all along the east coast this year, with a generally mild winter.
