Thanks, I did wonder what they are. The description is not quite right, they're not all pink, unless pink means white, orange and lavendar to some people.

As it did me! I know very little about flowers so I will say you are right. Have a great day, vmarie!

Agree. Impatiens.

Orinoco, I think they were referring to flowers that are called pinks, not the color. I may be wrong...as I am sure not very knowable about flowers, I just love them.

Not pinks, Orinoco. Their other name is dianthus and they are like little carnations.

I wasn't referring to the flowers themselves but the colours. As anyone can see, not all of them are the colour pink.

Sorry Orinoco. It was bmoo calling them pinks. Don't know why I thought it was you.

Hey VMarie, did you find the undersea video on Youtube? The channel was Winter Whale, though there are others on there such as NZ Ambience has some nice ones.

Gosh, orinoco, I've been so busy gardening, writing, cleaning, and with my excursions to the woods, I haven't tried to find any new videos. I'll post these on one of my laptop notes and hopefully get to them soon. Thank you for the reminder!
Such a pretty lot of flowers! I wish I had the time to go to nursery and get some. We has protests last night here and again tonight. The protests is a lot more peaceful now and not quite as scary.
I sorely miss being able to go to the plant store. I started seeds in March but they have hardly grown at all. Several are geraniums--not the hanging basket kind and that's the kind of plant I need now.
I need some callibrachoas, mini bells, and bacopa. I have (I think) seedling bacopa but it'll probably be the end of summer before they'll look like anything. Also have some seedling gazanias which do well in HB's but they are also tiny.
Wishing you a happy garden this summer.
I've got a red gazania this year. Interesting-looking plant, wonderful flowers.

Save the seed heads and replant more next year.
If you live in a warmer winter area they'll come up again as long as it isn't too wet. My mother had them in Sierra Vista AZ which did get some snow and frost but not over long periods and they came up each year.

Forgot to mention they do really well in a pot in a sunny window in winter.
Aren't the colors delightful? These look like impatiens.
