PANSY (you can't help but love their wee smiling faces:
POPPY (my dad nearly always had one type or another poppy in his garden):
PETUNIA (Phil usually grows two or three hanging baskets of petunias for me each year):
PHLOX (a flower I've always liked so perhaps instead of petunia in one basket?):
I can remember my dad also growing PRIMULA and PRIMROSE but maybe in his glass house and not in the garden beds. I have never attempted to grow them but love them for their colours. Could it be because they are mainly yellow I wonder.
I haven't listed PEONY above as they don't grow in Perth as it is too hot but I met my very first peony in the botanical gardens in Queenstown, New Zealand, and fell in love with it. Of course Phil knew all about them as he comes from where they are commonly grown but he agrees with me they are very beautiful.
