Dear Usha,

Pretty flowers !! Must have been really beautiful to look at !

From what I searched, they are called "Allium". Just check out the following link:
Allium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cheers

not a good thread for me... I should say

I am very bad in identifying flowers and plants... Like how guys know just rainbow colors and us all sorts of shades.. when it comes to plants and flowers, I just know the basic

Flowers all look cute though....

Jiths, what a pretty and colorful flowers... The first one is Rose of Sharon, a type of Chinese hibiscus like Usha mentioned, the other two look like asters, (I am not sure if aster blooms now), the blue one is a kind of bell flower(there are different types of bell flowers). Me too, new to gardening, so need confirmation from our garden specialists AC and Usha,

Allium looks wonderful, so do Usha's Arali. Do you know if they grow in zone 5?

I have my first rose pictures to share with you all.

Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Hi Cheerful,

Thanks a lot ! So, the first one is "Rose of Sharon" ? Mystery solved..I guess !

WOW !! Your roses look beautiful ! Did you start from stem cutting or did you buy a plant at first? They look adorable.

Always wanted to plant different colored roses..right now, we have just the White colored ones.

Nice of you to share the pictures!

Cheers
Krithika

Hi Cheerful

this is my first poem ever written. The velvety color of your dewy rose stirred my brain, that's all!
