Missouri Wildflowers Part II

This orange flower is so vibrant isn't it? It might be lantana growing wild. The bees sure did like it. There is a honey bee in the second photo.
I don't know if this fern produces a flower or not, but it's pretty enough for a photograph anyway.
Another one I don't know the name of, sorry!
More fern.
These were all taken in Warsaw, Mo.

Potted Flowers on the Porch

I haven't potted flowers for 3 years, since my youngest, Noah, came along, lol. Walmart had geraniums for $1 each, so I decided to go for it this year. I have plenty of lovely compost, so here they are! I'm really into the intensely bright colors this year.

Kelsey helping with the watering. We're really enjoying their beauty and color.

Geraniums are my personal favorite for a potted flower. They come in many colors and are either vining or regular plants. They do very well in part sun/part shade.

Petunias and impatients are also very nice. Petunias need direct sun and will tolerate part shade. Impatients should not have direct sun and can do well with only shade. If I don't have a vining geranium then I like to add in some trailing type of flower or foliage such as vinca or sweet potatoe vines.

Take notice of your growing conditions before you buy. Do you have morning sun, all day sun, afternoon sun, shade, a covered porch? Your local nursery can help you make a good choice.
