Purple Verbena
Thrift
And yet more Purple Verbena of another shade!
I've not participated in Bloom Day from May Dreams Garden before so I thought I would give it a shot this month. On the 15th of each month everyone posts what's bloomin' in their yard. Very fun, but I seem to forget the day! There is just something about April 15th that stands out from the crowd and so this month I finally hit the date.
I have other plants blooming that include pansies, petunias, purple pincushion flower, dwarf coreopsis, and vinca. I need to take more pictures and post them also.
Maybe on the next Bloom Day, I will be a bit more on top of things and have the official scientific names added! But for now..well I finally made it.

Very pretty! You must be somewhere warmer than me. :)
ReplyDeleteNorth Texas is where I'm at, so we may be a bit further ahead.
ReplyDeleteDang! You have Lantana! I tried to start some from seed- they haven't germinated! The packet said from 40-60 days for germination- nothing! I'm so disappointed :(. Well, I can come look at yours- My sister is in Plano, TX. I sure like visiting- love it there! Happy GBBD to you.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, your lantana looks a lot like verbena.

ReplyDeleteThese were given to me by a friend. Lantana and verbena look very similar although I think the flower size is a bit smaller for lantana. After looking online through the plant files plus the bloom time for lantana is summer, I think it may be verbena, so I'm going back to change it. Thanks
One of my favorite plants is purple verbena... it blooms on and off til December in mild winters in nashville! Welcome to GBBD! gail
ReplyDeleteNorth Texas is ahead of us here in the Ozarks too. We will be looking forward to seeing more of your place next month.
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice blooms there. I scrolled down and looked at your veggie post. They look great!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Verbena, that's really pretty.
