THE GARDEN GAME
We can either give the botanical latin name or the common name.
You may choose from perennials, bi-annual, annuals including veggies, bulbs, corms and houseplants.
Add a picture of the plant or not, your choice!
Rules:
Please state if it is a botanical or common name.
To help you in your search, here is a couple links
http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/
http://www.backyardgardener.com/plantsearch.html
Name a plant that starts with the last letter of the previous word.

Alyssum - Hardy Annual
[though in the Okanagan they come up year after year]
This small, delicate plant has many uses: It's wonderful for edging a flower bed, filling a container, beautifying a rock garden or cascading from a hanging basket. It loves cool weather, blooming profusely in spring and then starting up again in autumn. Available in white, lavender, and pink and produces a delightful scent. If you want a mixed color variety alternate the colors or if you want a solid color don't mix them when planting. |
