Let's try an ABC game. :)

To make things a little more interesting, let's post 2 annuals/perennials/vines OR shrubs, for each letter of the alphabet.

We'll use the common plant name where possible, example - Virginia Bluebell, not Mertensia virginica (yep, I looked it up! :) ). BTW - Virginia Bluebell would be a "B" plant (last name).

Let's also try to stay away from using a colour the plant is availabe in as a name. The letter is "Y", use Yarrow instead of Yellow Marigolds.

If possible, post the name of a plant you have in your garden!

Is that clear as mud to everyone? :)

BTW - If these suggestions are not strictly followed, the guilty Bud will be dunked in Amid Chaos's new rain barrel!! ;) :D ;)

Here we go!!

Astilbe - have them!

....next A plant?

Ah Vanessa.......I'd hate for you to have to dunk yourself in your own rain barrel, but it's 2 plants/flowers for each letter! LOL!! :D
 


I'm sorry AC, I should have said one plant/flower per Bud, per letter! :)

....I hope you have a nice warm fluffy towel :D
 


Okay.....one plant, one flower, one bud.

One is the lonliest number........(singing out of tune and rather loudly.....)

Astilbe, aster. That's one, right??????

Now it's time for the BBBBBBBs, right????

Bee Balm!

Guess it's another B flower.

That would be the "E" flowers then... hmmm...

I am having a hard time coming up with a "common" name for "E" - so how about

Echinacea
 
ECHINOPS!


(and I just have to add this one.......EUPATORIUM......(perennial ageratum!)

LOL LOL LOL LOL
 
F is for fern and yes, they're lovely in the garden.
