I have the same question. I have none.

The rose? You have to find one that is meant for your area and growing zone. I live in between 3b and 4a so I went with a 3b plant. I also protected it from any and all creatures that like to eat them! I use Miracle Grow soil & additive for watering. This one is not planted in full sun; I find that dries them. I watch for bugs and only use organic bug deterrent. Most importantly, I buy from a local greenhouse and ask a lot of questions! Good luck!

No, we have roses up here that come back, it's the phlox.

Yellow Canna Lilly.
I have them planted in a cracked concrete livestock water trough to control them. They like to spread and I hate to mow them down when they show up where they shouldn't be.View attachment 4177780

We grew some red ones for a couple of years, but we have to dig out the bulbs in the fall. Last year we forgot until too late, and they were froze. I could get more on eBay or somewhere but rather not deal with it again. They are so beautiful though.

Can you still edit your poppy post to say "Not an Entry" up on top?

I just checked and it’s been too long

Okay, I'll put that up there then.

And your Chinese Forget Me Knots are now instead of the Poppy which was your #2. Am I correct on that? Just need to confirm.

Flowers: This is my 3rd entry. I was out deadheading the flowers in my bee garden. When I was blessed with a beautiful sunset. This photo takes the place of an earlier photo I submitted of this garden.

Going to dry my herbs the easy way. I could use my dehydrator but this is easier
