Gotta get those pollinators to the garden. :mrgreen:

Looking good. Not a damn thing wrong with flowers. When I was a teenager, my family moved into a house that had a flower bed in front that was full of weeds and had some ratty looking rose bushes. I'd get out there and spend some time weeding and pruning the roses, and they came back really nicely. I found it very relaxing.

Those are Dahlia's.

I have morning glory's. Unfortunately they're the wild ones that grow like weeds and just have small white flowers. They're all over the back fence and in the Arborvitae. Next year I'm going to grow some of the nicer ones like you have along about twenty feet of fence.

Those are very cool. So cool I had to investigate.

The first one is a Dracula Simia or Monkey Face Orchid http://www.flowerweb.com/en/article/170136/MEET-DRACULA-ORCHID-SIMIA-Orchid-Monkey

The second is a Pecteilis or White Egret Orchid https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Pecteilis

But the third is an animal skull with flowers on it. My eyes fell out onto my keyboard when I saw this one. It's not a real flower. Still cool looking though.

I've never had much luck growing Orchids. I'll get one bloom out of them and nothing more. I think I'll give it another try.
