Noah's Mommy - the plants and flowers were my birthday present....when I asked for this I think my spouse thought I was nuts - I'm not the "green thumb" either as a rule, but these have turned out really well.
I bought a whole bunch of different kinds, some did not have names on them...I had to ask my "plant friends" at work what they were (sent them digital pictures)..
I have a ton of petunias, white, dark dark purple, pink & white and purple & white striped, and a fancy type that is lavendar with dark purple veins. They are pretty inexpensive and pretty hard to kill (In fact, in a garden setting they can almost be a pest)
I also have white phlox, geraniums, impatiens, moonbeam coreopsis(looks like a dill plant with little yellow daisies---this is what the butterfly sat on), fan flower, black eyed susans, and cover called wormwood that has a silvery look and a fresh herbal scent.
A friend gave me some bee balm, which is supposed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
The phlox is really aromatic...we have also had hummingbirds...it's been really calming. i also put a hammock out there...We are in the midwest, so these will have to be "wintered" in a garage, but all but the annuals should come back next year...
Ritz is also enjoying the added critters to her favorite "tv" screen(the patio window)
