Layia platyglossa,iceland poppy and ranunculus flowering

Iceland poppies are my favorite as far as delicacy is concerned. We had few rains last week and weather was just superb, chilly to be precise. This made our spring last few week more.

 

Isn't  she loaded with pollen?

This ranunculus i grew from tubers/corms and what a wonderful display it is. There are 5 more buds coming and i will post separate on them.

  

Just love the color of this seed raised dahlia.

  

Tidy tips (Layia platyglossa) is a popular annual here.I love the bicolor flowers. Local name is desi gendi.

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.
