@Victoria the first one is Verbena Bonariensis and under the fuchsia is Snapdragons Cherry twist.
Here's another pic of the snapdragons

 

Mine didn't look like that. Why is it on a stick?
That Snapdragon is gorgeous.

Where we sit out front facing East and the Iochroma/Plumbago. We call it The Sandbar as the Sand Garden for the cats is between the Iochroma/Plumbago and The Jacaranda, Viburnum/Tecomaria and Tecoma stans.

A few from where I sit ...

 

That's what VB's are like Vicky......there are several Verbenas ....without the B perhaps that's what you have.

Here's some of ours..we have it everywhere.


They grow up to 1:5 meters tall.


Verbena

 

Really beautiful Vicky, very tranquil looking.

 

A couple more new Dahlias, a bit bedraggled looking .

 

Yes, that is more what mine was like Upsy ... but it didn't 'do it' for me so I got rid of it and put Salvia coccinea 'Texas Sage' in its place.
