I love flowering plants :) I have a lot of the same plants y'all have at our old home in the city, I have peonies planted around a white rose of sharon tree, iris and spider lilies around a pink rose of sharon tree, a large old-fashioned pink and yellow lantana out front, and a honeysuckle vine trimmed into a bush shape. I had morning glories and Chinese lanterns on the chainlink fence for a while but they didn't survive :( My favorite flowers are the wild petunias around the house. They bloom 9 months out of the year. I can't bring any of the wild petunias to the farm because they're intrusive :( They're interesting... when their seed pods are hit with water, they snap and hit you with a surprising force. Bees love the honeysuckle, lantana, and wild petunias. Our neighbor's pig also loved the wild petunias. After he learned to open their screen door, he could always be found eating my wild petunias lol. He used to help me dig up weeds too :)

We only have wild flowers on the farm... primrose, daisies, milkweed (they attract butterflies), and assorted others I can't identify. I really like one I can't identify. Does anyone know what this is?

This is a pic of wild petunias if you're not familiar with them.

That one looks like some kind of lily. I don't know flowers very well.
