You could we

Ok, I'll go for Mirabilis jalapa then - what do you think?

That looks promising @Tetters.

 

[DrCase]

Beautiful flowers @DrCase! I especially love the one in the first picture. You may have said before, so sorry if I missed it, but what is that one?

I new I should of stayed in school… it’s some kind of Lily

I recognised the lilies, and I feel certain the others are Mirabilis. Do they close their petals in the mornings, and open them again in the afternoons @DrCase ? because they are often known as the four o'clock flowers. They have lots of different colours and can be easily grown from seed - I found a picture online.....

Yep they do open and close during the day

One very strange sunflower bloom facing the opposite direction of the sun and it's brothers and sisters. Must be a political statement?

 

[Tetters]

It's far left - that sunflower .... and on that note I think I need to retire, it's gone 11pm here, and sleep calls

I was going to say that...but the "politically correct" force suppressed it.

One of Tetter's Flowers...

 

[Sheal]

That looks like the rose 'Blue For You' ?

 

[DrCase]

 

[Tetters]

What are these @DrCase ? The only one I recognised was the lily. Are the ones in the pots asparagus?

Similar in colouring Sheal, but it is the very strongly scented rambler called ''Veilchenblau'' It is my favourite plant for perfume.

The pots are Fox tail ferns

 

[Tetters]

Righto! I looked up fox tail fern, and it said '' Asparagus densiflorous 'myersii' ''
It says that it's hardy in the USA from zone 9 upwards, but here I would have to look after it indoors, so I don't think I will trouble with it. I wish I could, but that's life!! It's mid summer now, and freezing cold. We have an easterly wind again this morning, so I shall have to garden again with my coat on. The big joke is, the people who tell lies are still trying to tell us that it will soon be doomsday, and it's the hottest springtime we have ever had, and we will soon go up in eternal flames!! What a load of b... old ballony

I think the second photo may be a pineapple lily, but I still can't work out the gorgeous pink flower in the first one

I did winter the 3 pots of fox tail in my office , they really took off once they came out in the spring
