Flowers to plant in my garden?
Irises are beautiful, and if you want fragrant flowers try getting the older type and not the new hybrids.


I wish I knew what zone you live in. Maybe you could go back in and put your flower zone. Texas looks like it has several.


I live in Indiana and I love butterfly gardens. I plant cone-flower, butterfly weed (asclepias tuberosa) and butterfly bushes. Garden phlox is also beautiful and has a great fragrance.


I lived in a mobile home and planted butterfly weed and had a butterfly bush. I was kind of upset when these big old caterpillars got on my butterfly weed, they didn't seem to hurt it and one day they were gone. Then I saw where they had crawled up on the side of the trailer and made a cryllis (sp). It was somewhat of a miracle to see beautiful Monarch butterflies immerge from them.
Reply:If you're new to all types of gardening then I'd recommend easy gardening, I bought it a few weeks ago and I was amazed at the amount of info provided. It also came with a free audio program which I thought was fab! Really friendly guide.
Reply:One of my favourite flowers is the Peony, even after they bloom the bush still looks nice:

I plant Clematis next to them so that I will have a second burst of bloom as the Clematis climbs the bush

I get all kinds of compliments on these flowers and the peony has so many blooms that you can give lots of them away to friends
