New Flowers

Our geraniums did pretty well last year, so we decided to give container gardening another go this year. We opted for a variety of flowers this time, although there's still a lot of green in there for now.

Some of the tags at Pike classify the plants as "spillers," "fillers," and "thrillers." The tags explain that you should have one thriller, fill the rest of the space with...um...fillers, and then use spillers down front if you are planting in a container. It would be most helpful if all the flowers were labeled as such, but they aren't. Alas, we ended up with two spillers, three fillers, and no thriller.

Angelonia

Zinnia

("Zahara Double Cherry" variety)

Purslane Pazazz Red Flare

(That at least sounds pretty thrilling!)

And the little white ones on the bottom right who didn't get their own photo are Bacopa Scopia Gulliver White.

(Who names these things? I tried to search this one on Wikipedia, and it asked if I meant "Bacon Scotia." No.)
