Pelargonium

Related to, and often mistakenly labeled Geranium. I use this plant in my planted containers and baskets each summer. They are great flowers to use in planters. I usually make them the center piece.

Thanks Giving Cactus

Ah the Thanksgiving Cactus. It only Flowers in November and oh what a stunner it is when it’s covered in flowers! It’s a rather plain plant when it’s not in flower, but when it’s in bloom it’s spectacular.

Phlox David

Lovely Phlox David. This plants begins to bloom in July and usually through August. If you cut off the old blooms it will often bloom again in September or October! I have these flowers growing right beside my patio where I can enjoy them best.

Bellflower

Ah the lovely Bell Flower. This flower looks somewhat like the Balloon flowers that I also grow in my garden, but they are much smaller and the plant is low to the ground.Â The only problem with these flowers is that the plants seem todie out after a couple of years.
