Cineraria,crocus,dimorphotheca in my garden

I know i am late for this macro monday but never too late.

Crocus is not adaptable to lahore hot climate. I tried 3 bulbs this year but only one managed to bloom partially.

Dimorphotheca also comes in purple color but this one is just too good. They open their petals only with strong sunshine.

Calendulas come in very wide range. Very pretty blooms.

 

Cinararia or florist's cinararia are my favorites. They bloom in partial shade as well and come in so many colors it is just enchanting watching them bloom for a long long period. They surely need an exclusive post on them.

Buttercup oxalis,iceland poppy, calendula in my garden

Anemone which i grew from bulbs, this one is first bloomer.

Shirely poppies, more free flowering but less delicate then ice land ones
Iceland poppies, my favorite.
Calendula, they come in bi-colors too.
Oriental lily, very fragrant. The aroma fills the whole home not just room.
Nasturtiums
I love oxalis and bees love too. Very adaptable to our warm climate.
Bees love this dahlia
