A few taken this morning.

 

@CanadianLori What is the first lovely flower please? Actually, I don't know any of them.

 

That is some of my salvias, and the third pic which is the first time I've seen this flower, is a gloxinia. Never heard of it until I saw a box with a root in it and it was a cheapie!

 

I love it and have a few (just hot Hot Lips today from Spain in fact). Do you know the name of yours? ... it is ruffly looking. I just put some Double Gloxinia seed from the US in wet paper towel to germinate. I had the doubles some years ago.

 

These were grown from seeds collected from last year's which were from the year before and go back about 10 years or so. I would call them Heinz 57!

 

If you dont mind me chipping in, I think no1 is Salvia splendens the bedding Salvia which is tender, they look good Lori.

The "Gloxinia", looks to me like Incarvillea, the so called hardy Gloxinia which isn't really related to sinningia which is the name for gloxinia .

 

Your Gloxinia @CanadianLori is Incarvillea delavayi commonly called the hardy Gloxinia but only the flower is similar to the indoor Gloxinia. There seems to be more colours available now since I grew them many years ago.

Callistemon/Melaleuca salignus.


Alstroemerias.
