Flower of the Day for a year - a Challenge!

[rary]

I am posting tomorrow's flower of the day now as I will be a bit busy, OH has a hospital appointment and then the boy's have something at school followed by us going out for a meal, so this is one of my nasturtiums, so nice the butterflies can't pass it still but keeps them of my cabbages

A spring flower for me today - these often flower a second later in the year



Flower seed circle anyone???!

Field poppies -I think this is what they are called. They are neither planned or expected yet every year they pop up in planters or amongst the flower beds. They are most welcome and flower their socks off.

I don’t have a lawn more mown weeds but it does mean that I get some rather pretty wild flowers in the grass. Here’s one I don’t know what it is called.

Birds foot trefoil - though I know it as Tom Thumb Bird's-foot trefoil | Plant-Lore

My flower is a hardy fuchsia with a sneaky wheelie bin looking for world fame.

Thanks VC.

Have a bit of time ideal thought I would post this sunflower sowed by the birds
When it opens up more I will post an other photo, and it now looks like my day lily finally stopped flowering, though you never know what may happen if it turns warm again

Phlox for me today..:..they have struggled with the lack of water but even so they have flowered for several months!

What’s Weigelia doing flowering now?????

My Flower - a White begonia, another survivor of the Begonia epidemic, which has surprised me by popping up in the middle of some strawberry runners.

Violas - this cheeky little fellow has appeared in a window box. After buying some yellow violas a couple of years ago I’ve never been without violas as they self seed so easily. Lots of times I’ve rescued violas which have appeared in the lawn before they get mowed down.

Heleniums - these have flowered for months and are a magnet for bees.

Today it is honeysuckle that my flower of the day

[cheops]

This is a new lily for me which I planted earlier in May. It is called Lady Alice and is a pretty hybrid of a variety called Henryi which I also bought. Henryi is about to flower - probably one day next week and I shall post a photo of it then. Being their first year these lilies are a little spindly but next year will be much more robust and established. Both varieties are scented.

Another weed flower as my Asiatic friend would call it, a Lawn daisy.
