This is a list of plants that I'm growing
Oak tree sapling
Quercus sp.
I'm unsure if this is Blackjack Oak (Q. marilandica) or not.
Recently re-potted. Hope the little guy lives.
Aloe vera (common name same as scientific)
A houseplant I'm keeping outside for the summer. Will bring inside in the winter.
Quinault Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) and Common Sunflower seedlings (pretty sure they're Helianthus annuus)
I enjoy having little sunflowers. Hope they grow big and strong.
Four o'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa)
This is the second year in a row in which the seeds have come back! I'm excited. They're just beautiful flowers!
Rosemary (Salvia officinalus; synonym Rosmarinus officinalis)
My favourite spice. This guy had flowers last week, but they've already come and gone.
Onion (Allium cepa)
These are onions I didn't get up and then started growing!
This one is about to bloom. Even the flower makes me hungry, because it smells so good!
Pansies (Viola tricolor var. hortensis)
One of my favourite flowers to grow. Unfortunately, this guy probably won't live much longer, as they don't like the heat.
Plumed Cockscomb or Celosia (Celosia argentea)
This has to be my favourite plant. Has many different colours, including this beautiful shade of pinkish-red. Can be yellow, orange or red.
Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) with a Celosia.
I found an Impatiens growing with this Celosia, when I bought it at the store. I said "I'm gonna take that one! It's like getting a free Impatiens!" (Not really free, but you get the point.)
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
A houseplant I have outside for the summer. I got him for free at a garden centre!
I'm pretty sure these are Chives (Allium shoenoprasum)
Recently replanted with some potatoes. Onions and their relatives help potatoes to grow.
I'm pretty sure this is a Lesser Periwinkle (Vinca minor)
The brighter, yellow-green plant is a Moneywort/Golden Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea')
Moneywort (the other plant is unknown)
The moneywort is sold as an annual here where I live, but it is come back every year and I've had it for two years now.
Here's a closer look, without a bunch of plants in the way.
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum)
I didn't use up these potatoes in time and they began to grow. Had to cut them out of the bag, to keep them from ripping apart. Keeping some out to give to my mom.
I'm not sure what this plant is. It's either something I planted or a weed of sorts.
More onions
African Daisy (Osteospermum x hybrida)
Wasn't doing too hot, so I re-potted him. Had beautiful, bright purple flowers a couple of weeks ago.
Another Chives
Christmas Cactus (Schlumberga truncata)
Another houseplant I keep outside for the summer. Has had beautiful flowers last Christmas.
Swiss Chard "Bright Lights" (Beta vulgaris vulgaris)
This guy was maybe three or four inches tall when I bought him. Is now really huge and taking up most of the room in the flowerpot.
Spearmint (Mentha spicata)
One of my favourite herbs.
Garbanzo/Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)
Not doing too hot. Hope the little guy makes it.
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea "Dalmatian Purple")
One of my favourite plants, even if it is one of the most toxic plants in the world!
Wasn't doing to hot, so I've since planted this guy. Hope he can recover!
Marigolds (I'm pretty sure this is Tagetes erecta)
One of my favourite plants to grow. I love the unique and strange smell of this flower.
Iceland Poppies (Papaver nudicaule "Spring Fever Mix")
Had a flower when I bought it, but hasn't had any since planting it. Fingers crossed!
Large-flowered Tickseed (Coreopsis grandiflora "SunKiss")
Please grow flowers... please...
Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans "Pink Lightning")
Has had flowers ever since I bought him!
Butterflyweed/Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
YES. Survived being weedeated and the winter!
Siskiyou Lewisia (Lewisia cotyledon "Elise Mixed")
Had flowers when I bought it, but they've come and gone. You can see where they once were towards the top of the photo.
Candle Larkspur (Delphium elatum "Delphina™ Light Blue White Bee")
Please grow flowers... please...
Million Bells/Calibrachoa (Calibrachoa hybrid "Superbells® Holy Moly!®")
Wasn't doing too hot, so I had to plant her. Hope she makes it!
Miniature Daffodils (Narcissus Tete-a-Tete)
Both of them had flowers when bought. Will probably have flowers next spring.
Hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis; forgot the cultivar)
Both had flowers earlier this spring. Hope they bloom again next year.
More Impatiens, with a weed I thought was a Petunia... but now I'm not so sure!
Scarlet Avens (Geum coccineum "Koi")
I got this plant for ONE DOLLAR. And it's doing amazing. I have such good luck with clearance plants! She was so sad when I bought her.
Stokes Aster (Stokesia laevis)
Has survived being weedeated down, the really hot summer and the winter... this guy just doesn't die! Which is a good thing!
Canna (Canna x generalis "Golden Lucifer")
I just LOVE the colour. I can't believe how bright this beautiful plant is!
Cannas from my mom's house
My mom dug these up for me, from her yard and I have planted them. PLEASE make it... There are five in total.
Columbine (Aquilegia sp.; forgot the species name)
The tag for this guy flew away, so I don't remember the species. Had flowers a few days ago, but have since dried up.
Wisteria (Wisteria sp. unsure of the species)
Need to plant this guy. One of my favourite flowers.
Seedlings... not sure what these are, but they're freakin adorable!
If I had to hazard a guess, some of them are probably weeds. Oh well, luck of the draw.
Dusty Miller/Silver Ragwort (Jacobaea maritima)
Marketed as an annual where I live, this plant has survived TWO winters and bloomed last year. Looks like he'll bloom again, soon! Has been one of my favourite plants since I was a child.
Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)
Had a beautiful flower when I bought it. Hope it blooms again!
