  2. DAISIES The name Daisy mean day’s eye. The Daisy flowers are very appealing while opening at dawn and attract a lot of small insects. A Daisy is a mix of two flowers called a disk floret and a white ray floret. The Daisy belongs to the Daisy family of Compositae, known now as Asteraceae. The leaves of daisy are consumable and are often used in salads and the flower itself used in making honey and herbal tea.

A sunflower's head can grow to be as big as 2 feet across and the plant itself can be as tall as 18 feet. Well this year our tallest one got to over 10 feet tall. The shortest Nature sunflower on record was just over 2 inches tall and was grown in Oregon using the Bonsai technique

Tulips are flowers that bloom in spring from bulbs. The word tulip comes from the Turkish word for ‘turban’, because of their shape. Huge numbers of tulips are now grown in the fields in Holland.

Pansies have three basic colour patterns. One is a single colour that is yellow or blue. Another pattern is a flower that has black lines that originate from its centre. The third pattern has a dark centre, which is known as its face.

These petals, are found in nearly every colour and often feature two or three colours per flower petal. The leaves of the violet plants are extremely small, and sometimes entirely undetectable(hard to find). Violet leaves and flowers are edible and have a delicate, sweet flavour. They can be candied, used to make stuffing and, more commonly, used as a garnish for a variety of dishes such as salads and desserts

  9. BLUEBELLS Bluebells are a perennial (everlasting) plant named for the shape of the flower which looks like a tiny bell. These flowers grow in clusters and are usually, but not always, blue as the name implies. Bluebells can be a creamy, off-white colour. The cream-colored bluebell is rarely found in nature. This plant has long stems and narrow leaves. It grows to be 12 to 18 inches tall.
