A hanging basket of petunias and little blue things. I know to take off the spent flowers, and if I want it to get bushier to pinch behind the flower.
A pot that I planted with lots of different things. It gets afternoon sun, but not much due to the giant addition the neighbors put up last year. Columbine, monkey grass (I've only ever had it indoors before), Salvia, geranium and coleus. Any advice here to keep it bright and flowery? It's right outside my front door, kinda disguising a settled driveway.
One of my first roses of summer. Truth be told, I hate rose bushes. But they are easy to care for - simply prune off the dying flowers, hack it back to the ground in the winter, rinse lather, repeat.
Peonies. Again, another plant I don't like - but mainly because it attracts ants, and I don't know how to care for it. This bloom is as big as my head. It's HUGE!
Another Peony bush, a girly pink ruffly fluffy one.
This peony bush makes flowers that remind me of tulips. I love how they open and close with the sun. It's neat going out in the evening watching them slowly close up.
These are two plants that I am worried about. They are under the back patio, in the shade most of the day - only receiving direct light in the mornings from about 10am to 1pm-ish.
A geranium. Admittedly it's in a hanging basket that I have just planted in the large patio pot and mulched around. I was in a hurry before a showing, needing pops of color on a boring patio.
A plant I've never even seen before. It's a begonia. I have no idea what to do with it.
