Here's What I've Got Growing!

These pictures were taken late this afternoon.  I first saw a hibiscus come up, and I got excited.  That pretty much got me on a picture-taking frenzy!  I'm so proud of myself because I've only been serious about gardening for two years.  My sad gardenia is the last one.  I took a picture because it's the third one I've had.  I killed the prior two :-(

Here's the hibiscus:

As I walked around my yard, I looked for a variety to share on this blog.  Here they are:

Pink rose bush

Wildflowers

Hydrangeas getting ready to fully bloom

Dahlias

Geraniums

Gladiolus

Teddy bear sunflowers, soon to be fluffier

Zinnia, Marigolds, Daisies, and Nasturtium (not yet bloomed)

Ornamental pepper

Begonia among lime green huechera

Dianthus mingling with scabiosa

Begonia with sweet potato vibe and black mondo grass in the background

Accidental snapdragons....might have gone to seed last year!

Combo of tricolor sedum and pink polka dot plant....they match so well!

Happy succulents

Sad gardenia!  This might be my last try with gardenias.....I can't bear killing another!
