My hanging basket is Petunias. Can’t remember the color name of them. The pink one is one of my lilies. They are one of my favorite perennial flowers and I have many different colors in my flower beds.
Debbie your top,right picture is a hosta, I think your top left picture is a Calla Lily. Bottom two look like fushia. All of them look like shade plants, is that where they are planted?

Oh wow Julie thank you so much. I thought the one was Calla Lily. Yes, they are shade plants.

First photo we just found out are Salal Berries native too Oregon. They grow among our Blackberry Bushes. We can make jams, pies etc with them as well. 2nd and 3rd photo, white flowers. A mystery but they are beautiful and also grow among our blackberries. 4 a mystery as well. Our property continues to be a mystery to us with so many Beautiful flowers, plants and trees across our over 2 acres. We can not wait to see what spring brings us. I was hoping that our property would be partially landscaped which it is. We are planting more and different plants, trees and flowers. Thank you for your help in identifying my flowers. I love seeing everyone’s flowers. So fun Dianna, thank you.

Debbie, I believe your white flowers are morning glories. Do they grow on thin vines? In my neck of the woods, some people think of them as weeds. I will sometimes pull them if they get wrapped around other plants. Nor sure if you were asking about the last pic with the pinkish color, but that may be honeysuckle.
The flower picture I shared is a hydrangea. Sad to say it no longer looks like that as the heat has made the flowers crispy.

Oh wow! Yall are awesome!! I think I may have posted a rose of Sharon but its not indigenous. I carried that thing from Williamsburg VA to Alabama in a pot and then 3 house moves till we got our property! Now its taller than the well house, lol. Oh yes, the morning glory here is very aggresive!

Julie, GORGEOUS photos! WOW! That sky is breathtaking!
Beautiful flowers, Debbie! I have two hostas I added to my back yard last year (in a large pot), they are green, but not yet blooming. I think I may need to put them in the ground, but I'm afraid Charley may get into it... I heard they are poisonous to dogs... do you know if that is true?

Hosta (pictured above): Its leaves, flowers and roots are poisonous to cats and dogs, so make sure your pet does not take a fancy to them. If they do, expect to see signs of depression, followed by vomiting and diarrhoea.
Just pulled it off a Google search!! I have some too! I had no idea! I'm pulling mine a getting rid of it. I don't want anything happening to Kodabear or our fox!! Thanks for the heads up April!!

I wandered out to one of the water holes tonight and couldn’t resist taking this picture.

You all have such beautiful pictures. It is pretty much just brown and dry here; our pretty season is spring.

We've had rainy humid days, but the reward is a beautiful rainbow.
