Hi... forgot to mention that Forget-Me-Nots... are myosotis...lol.

There are three plants that have the little blue flowers...two are called Forget-Me-Not...and one is called Brunnera or Siberian Bugloss...the brunnera has large heartshaped leaves and the flowers come in early spring...small, pretty skyblue with yellow centres... the water f-m-n I planted beside the birdbath and it loved the dousing every time I changed the water... it forms small clumps and blooms in June... it can live at the waterside and doesn't mind it's roots being wet... I have a pic of it on my page, you may have to look for it though...it's back a few pages now.... the other I just planted a pkg of seed in May and it is 24" tall and blooming it's head off with slightly larger solid blue flowers... will take a pic of this and the brunnera a post them....so you can look at them...

Blue flowers (especially sky blue ones) really appeal to me... I have two in bloom at present...I planted a whole package of Forget-Me-Nots thinking they were the small waterloving type...but they are the taller ones and they seem a little out of place towering above the other plants but the blue is a wonderful punctuation mark...the other is the perennial lobelia... blue blue blue....love it!

The centres look like gaillardia..love the short petals and the wonderful yellow...

the three main petals make it look almost trillium shaped...would they call that a russet eye?

great colour... !

Lovely bright yellow ones!

Great plant combination .!

It's just the opposite of the other one, very delicate and calming.

Love the color...., a real eyecatcher. !

Great looking specimen !

A nice red Dahlia is "Bishop of Llandaf". and the leaves are a good colour too.

I think you better ask Gillian as she is from Toronto as well.

We have wild garlic growing in the hedgerow behind us, that has a triangular stem. It is the characteristic that we use to identify the plants.

Check out the Goldenray..(przwalskii) it's leaves are quite different and the flowerstems are tall, with small bright yellow flowers...

Great leaves,

So, what is it then? It is pretty but what's the name?

They look lovely, nice colours together.

I think it's called scavola , or scavaeola...I think Chrispook has a pic and I know there are others with it posted too. the flowers are like little fans!
just type it in the search place at the top of the page...and the members with the plant will pop up... I love this site!!

Oh I love this colour... I'm going to look for some of this!

Is this Scavola? really nice hanging planter! Is the white Baby's Breath?

Bachelor's Buttons! I love the periwinkle blue ones!!

Aha! There it is! very pretty!

Glad to help if I am able!

Plants of the Labiatae have square stems...the mints and bergamots, etc.

Wow, that flower looks like it's been stitched :)

What a good shot! Nice plant, what is it anyway? I like the way it stands out against the background foliage.

I love those lilies, they really make a statement there against the brick wall. Great colour.

Hello Nadia, I cannot get back to the original correspondence and now I totally forgot which plant identification I helped with. Sp sorry, but I've seen so many pics here in the last few days, it's been dazzling!
Anyway, this plant is lovely, I call it a succulent and I have some in my garden in a "gravelly" planter. Mine are doing very well and keep getting babies.

Are the plant stems square? not joking. lol.
