View annual flowers now to get ideas for next year - Duluth News Tribune

Street in Fargo. The following are a few favorites, especially eye-catching this year: Carmine Velour Wave Petunia: A recent All-America Selections (AAS) winner, I’ve grown it several years and am impressed with its rich color and spreading, yet neat habit.Big Duck Yellow Marigold: Another AAS winner, it’s become my new favorite large-flowered marigold, blooming profusely on plants about 18 to 20 inches high.Cleome: Although it’s been around for ages, it’s unbeatable for a tall, background flower. The Sparkler series is shorter than the 3- to 4-feet Queen series.Blue salvia: The varieties Victoria and Blue Bedder provide stately spikes of sky blue well into fall, and contrast well with the rounded flowers of yellow marigolds or pink petunias or zinnias. Holi Scarlet Zinnia. Alyssa Goelzer / The Forum Holi Scarlet Zinnia: A recent AAS winner, the large, vibrant scarlet blossoms are borne on plants only about 12 to 15 inches tall. Perfect for the front of flowerbeds.Raspberry Lemonade Zinnia: A mix of the beautiful Zahara series of zinnia, which is low-growing and prolific. The colors are a pleasant blend of yellows, raspberry rose and pink. Resistant to mildew disease. Coral Fountain Amaranthus. Alyssa Goelzer / The Forum Coral Fountain Amaranthus: Sure to catch attention, the cascading plumes of flowers are in the love-lies-bleeding group of amaranthus. Las Vegas Mix Gomphrena.

6 Plants and Flowers Native to Florida That You May Not Know About - Florida Insider

Photo Credit: alybaba/Shutterstock.com The bougainvillea (Nyctaginaceae) is a popular, pretty-flowered plant here in warm Miami, Florida. Indeed, it is a popular ornamental plant that can be seen hung as a decoration in many south Floridian homes and gardens. Although native to South America (“buganvilea” in Portuguese and “buganvilla” in Spanish is representative of the languages spoken in this continent’s countries), bougainvillea is very populous here in Miami. Almost any and every house along the streets of Miami can have a garden full of bougainvillea and are probably the pride and joy of every abuelita. The fact that it’s a drought-tolerant plant helps it survive the harsh Miami summer months, making it the perfect hot season plant. Its long, arching thorny branches bear heart-shaped leaves and masses of papery bracts in white, pink, orange, purple and burgundy (oh, pretty colors)! All of these flowers will add a beautiful exotic touch to any garden, especially if you live in a tropical climate as we do down here. Adding these flowers to your garden will add some spice to your life and make it a little brighter, and not just because of the various colors of the flowers. This is what makes Florida unique and beautiful – diversity! Chris began his writing as a hobby while attending Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. Today he and his wife live in the Orlando area with their three children and dog.

Times-Herald Keeping an eye out for butterflies and other pollinators at the pollinator garden on Carmichael Street are, from left, Moriah and Miriam Wyman and Olivia Westergreen. It had just rained Thursday afternoon as three Newnan girls began to explore the pollinator garden on Carmichael Street.Miriam Wyman, 9, and her sister Moriah Wyman, 7, poked around among the flowers and shrubs along with Olivia Westergreen, who is almost 7. All three were fascinated by the tiny butterflies flitting from bloom to bloom. Miriam read the informational sign at the garden, explaining to the younger girls the importance of bees, butterflies – even bats – in pollinating flowers. The increase in pollinator gardens is doing more than teaching youngsters the vital role that pollinators play in the food chain. "Backyard insect-watching has become a popular pastime thanks to the public's increased interest in pollinator health and habitats," according to Becky Griffin, an educational program specialist with the University of Georgia Extension ...
