Another selection of my garden pics to make you smile

in Plants
Things are starting to suddenly grow with the amount of rain and some sunshine that we have been getting. Some are wildflowers that I have grown from seed, the lilies are starting to come out. My cosmos has suddenly put a spurt on as well. Loving colour in the garden at last. Hope you enjoy.

lovely pictures Jacqueline whats the plant in picture number 9 underneath the fly picture?
are they taken on a smart phone?
Lovely pictures! Can I ask what the first pink flower is?
Your pictures always make me smile. Beautiful.
Thank you Pink Lady, to be honest I do not know the name, it is one of many wild flowers that I had sown into a container. I did not write down the names from the packet unfortunately, if I find out I will let you know.
How lovely Jacqueline, your cosmos are miles ahead of mine, thanks for sharing
I wonder if the pink flowers could be one of the clarkia's?
Thank you Victoria Sponge yes it is one of the Clarkia's, well spotted. First time growing wild flowers and I am really pleased with the results so far.

Thanks ladies, will add Clarkia's to my list of things I would like to grow
Your cosmo's are well ahead of mine too. Grew them from seed for the first time this year....can't wait for flowers!
Any ideas what the one up from bottom might be? It's stunning.
Plant Pauper that is another one that I grew from a mix of wild flowers. So I am not able to name that one at the moment.
Here are some others that I took today.







Think the gorgeous white and purple one, that plant pauper pointed out, is a white cornflower. Am jealous as my cornflowers were 'slugged'. You have some cracking flowers there J29 - the bees must love your garden!
