This is my master list of the flowers and bulbs I planted this year. I may add a sorted version below this one to identify which are annuals, biennials and perennials. I need to keep track of what species germinated (and how many?), which seem to be dead, and other notes. I may add pictures as they bloom or maybe I'll do that a different way. For now, this is my list. If you have experience with any of these flowers, I'd really be interested to know that you have to say! (Easy to grow, bugs eat it, etc.) (By the way, the list of poppy species is lengthy because the "Million Poppy Seed Kit" that I got is a mixture of many different species, so I listed them all.

Hollyhocks I do know, they were very popular in England in the 19th and early 20th century, I even have a few here.
Look forward to seeing photos whenever you upload some.
John.
