Absolutely beautiful!!

i love those Birds of Paradise flowers.
i have a few ideas for next year to add to my flower beds.
i like the Ghost Flowers and i have found Castor Beans and there is another one i dont know the name of. it looks like a hibiscus, but it is a bush and the flowers are about a foot across. there are a few around town. i should take a pic of them and show you. they are very pretty.

hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

I have color to add to this thread........

 

[Starfish]

These are all annuals and tender perennials DA.... many of which I think you can use there. I do love that Bird of Paradise too.

The bluish part looks like it's made of Mercury.


The flowers above are called Celosia.


These are Mexican Zinnias.

Starfish

those are great pics.
i tried planting Dahlias this year and they bloomed fine but then they just up and died on me. no clue what happened.
the sunflowers are real nice looking. i have a red sunflower in the front flowerbed and i counted 12 blooms on the stalk tonight.
thanks for sharing.
i am enjoying this.

 

[batter]

i took this pic today.
it is called a Blanket Flower. it appears to be related to the daisy family. it is supposed to be opening in june thru august.

 

[batter]

this is the red sunflower with the 12 blooms on it.
some are starting to die off but there are lots in bloom on it yet.

Thought I recognized the name

I Haven't been to Keukenhof for over 30 yrs. But then I'm English and have spent too much time in Gravenhaag and Eindhoven. I'm in the US now so casual trips to Holland are out of the question. It was a nice memory though: and it must have made an impression I am male and WAS a teenager then!
