    Hi Bosque,..your right,..that is a species of California Poppy,..nice bloom,..i like your water feature :).
    I see your Hydrangea,..its looking very healthy,..is that a Delphinium starting in the round black container?,..leaves look similar,..i see a yellow bloom on the Nasturtium,..it likes water so its in a good spot,..you are getting together a good selection of plants,..what is that in the second picture?,..at first i thought by the leaves that it was a Hollyhock then the bloom got me stuck :)

    Thanks Hank.
    Philip, that plant in the round black pot is a perennial geranium i just dug up out of a flower box that has been overrun by creepimg phlox. I didn't want it getting swallowed up. And that purply plant is a melva. They come up from their own seed every year. I really like them, I think of them as miniature hollyhocks.

    Yes, just a small one. My goal is to surround the whole parameter with flowers. If most of what I planted grow and flower. It should be quite a site. Im not asking for that much am I?

    I like that 'Melva',..i never came across one before,..do the leaves get that 'Hollyhock Rust',..just curious seeing the leaves are so similar.

    Hi Bosque,..that would be great,..too late to sow any of them for this season but no Hollyhock Rust would be a bonus,..i do have Hollyhocks but am winding down with them due to the rust,..its a full time job trying to keep the rust at bay,..if you see anything growing in my garden that you think i will have seeds from let me know,..come to think i will make a list of the seeds i do have and you can put your name on them :)
