Fluro Flowers for Valentines!

Fluro Flowers for Valentines!

I'm not sure the name of these lovely bright colourful flowers, but they took my eye.

Alandra has kindly told me the name of these flowers: "Painted Tongue" or Salpiglossis.

glad to help, Mel. that one came back to me quickly for some reason, maybe due to liking them so much when we grew them - have often wanted to grow them again but don't often see them as bedding plants anymore. Used to know loads of names of plants when I was "into" gardening more, - but find sometimes can't recall the names now : )

Wow, thanks Alandra, I had a feeling I could rely on you to know.

Cheers,

Mel.
