Wizard of Oz Plant Names

There is a rambler rose called Dorothy Perkins. It has pink flowrs in late summer and can reach 10 feet

Mimulus is Monkey Flower, but not flying ones!

Other Rainbow ideas are Rainbow Chard and Phormium Rainbow types. HTH!

Hi David - I've been looking through the T&M seed catalogue and I found 'Whirlybird' nasturtiums and 'Storm'' petunias for the tornado?) also 'Rainbow mixed' petunias. Hope this is of interest!

many, many thanx to you all for the suggestions, and effort. I have no doubt that they will be featuring in next year's garden! I am sure I can make the Mimulus "fly" by planting in hanging baskets, I love the name "Storm" petunias, and am looking at chard "Rainbow" or "Bright Lights" for colour in the veggy plot. Have spent all evening online researching. I have seen the Dorothy Perkins rose, it is similar to the pink one we have called "Dreamland". Have also found Rainbow Mixed F1 carrots for the veggy garden!. Once again, many thanx 2uall! - David

there's also Leonotis leonurus - which is 'Lion's Ear' - a borderline in hardiness perennial, 3-5 ft tall with lovely velvety orange flowers in late summer. Roses 'Rainbow Magic' and Yellow Dream' could be good. Fuchsia 'Little Witch' or 'Dorothy' or Bergenia 'The Wiz'.

Hi, Hoya! What brilliant tips for plants. Have been googling and googling, still trying to find supliers. These HAVE to be in our garden next year. Many thanx!
