Photos of Flowers - Grown In My Garden

I have recently started to garden more around my house and have actually grown some really awesome flowers!

Gardening is a great escape for me, and I love that I can make something so beautiful grow from just a seed.

I've taken pictures of many of them, and want to share them with the world. I hope that you enjoy my photos, and this lens in general!

  • Native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia
  • It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world
  • The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm (Gerbera mini 'Harley') in diameter or up to 12 cm (Gerbera ‘Golden Serena’)

Potted Plants

Having a variety of potted plants in interesting pots is a great way to change up your landscaping without too much effort.

You can move them around based on the weather, sun, or even just for looks if you're having company.

Botanical Interests is a fantastic seed company based in Broomfield, CO and founded in July 1995. They have grown and changed, and now have such a wide variety of veggie, herb and flower seeds. They also have gardening supplies and really informative articles and blog posts. I highly recommend the For The Birds (and Bees and Butterflies) Flower Seed Collection. There are 5 large packets of flower seeds specifically meant to attract beneficial insects, birds, bees, and pollinators. I've found with my vegetable garden that having pollinators visit is essential to a good yield, and planting these types of flowers is incredibly helpful.
