I thought I would post some pictures that I took this evening while I was in between collecting lavender seeds and building my greenhouse. Also need some kelp identifying these flowers.

Let me just say... GORGEOUS!! I mean, that is some awesome colors you have collected.

As for the flowers, the first is a cosmo.
The second I'm not positive without a close up, but they look like an african daisy of some sort?!
The third appear to be Calendula, just yellow I think. I have a mix of oranges. (Save the seeds from those babies, those flowers are GREAT for keeping away a ton of pests from your garden)
The forth is obviously a snap dragon, I think the common type name is "Cotton Candy"? I think Rebbetzin on here has the same type?!

Feel free to post more pictures... I think they are fantastic. I don't think your yard is ready for fall yet.


ETA: :welcome

Wow, those are all so pretty! I especially like the snapdragons. And if calendula is that easy to grow AND it keeps away the bad critters then I guess I must gorw some next year....

It does sort of look like lobeila- but I don't think it is. I have grown it before, darned if I can remember what it is called...I'll try to find it in my garden bible.
