I have a very organised garden






And I am an optimist, so despite the total failure of the last flower-recognition, here are some more Miscellaneous Flowers if anyone recognises them




I think the top right is a marigold; the bottom right grows on a very flimsy stalk; the bottom left grows very close to the ground; the top left is the shy blue flower of my previous posting

Coo! Do you have any idea why the snails do that?

The top right looks more like a zinnia than a marigold, at least the marigolds I'm familiar with.

Wonderful pictures.

I couldn't tell you what the flowers were, though Mike also suspected Marigold.

Love the lined up snails though, and the bottom two flowers are really pretty whatever they are.

I'd suspect the top left flower or being some variety of primrose or primula.

Darn, I even know what the lower left flower's seedpod looks like, but I'm not sure what it's called.

The top left, coincidentally, looks very similar to a morning glory, but it's not — I'd also be inclined to go with the primrose suggestion, though the flower shape's a bit wrong. The leaves look right, though.

I would put top right as a dahlia (http://images.google.com/images?q=dahlia), but I don't know how big it is.

And I've seen the bottom left all over the place, but can't remember its name. Is there no online plant-identification website? If not, it might be an interesting website to start. Think 20 questions for plants, collaborative, very user generated content, web2.0.

I find it really hard to help with the flower identification when I don't know how big they are. Are all the flower heads really the same size?

Of course, I don't know much about flowers, so that's a setback too.

Bottom left looks rather like nigella, or love-in-the-mist. (Which I discovered this year because they were one of the few of the seeds [livejournal.com profile] 1ngi planted which didn't get munched by the snails as soon as they sprouted.)

I suspect the top right one is a calendula. Top left might be some variety of morning glory; I agree with [livejournal.com profile] sion_a about bottom left being nigella; and I've seen bottom right before, possibly even on seed packets, but I couldn't tell you its name.
