The blue ones look like cornflower

TrojaninTroy · 01/04/2021 15:08

Is this in the UK? Are they growing in your garden right now?

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 01/04/2021 15:08

Sorry, I'm Properly clueless, but a little bump for you!

If you look at some garden centre pages you'll find them
Easy enough.

Anemone? Tulip?

OMGisthisforreal · 01/04/2021 15:09

Looks like cornflowers then rosemary (the herb) and can’t see orange one clearly enough.
Are you in the UK?

There's a gardening section on here.

The blue ones at the top look like cornflowers.

AdaColeman · 01/04/2021 15:12

One of the plant photo identification apps will tell you, something like "picture this" I think is one of them.

Hotcuppatea · 01/04/2021 15:13

At a guess I would say (top to bottom) cornflower, lisianthus and tulip.

A florist would be able to tell you for sure.

Hotcuppatea · 01/04/2021 15:14

Actually the middle one might be Rosemary. Is it very fragrant?

PrudenceDictates · 01/04/2021 15:15

Blue: cornflowers, pink look like freesia, but the leaves are wrong! Orange possibly tulips.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/04/2021 15:25

Cornflower on the left.

Middle one - the leaves look a bit like rosemary but the flowers are nothing like... possibly some sort of dianthus? Do the flowers (rather than the leaves) smell like carnations?

The right one does look like tulip flowers but I've never come across one with that sort of multi headed form.

Suggest you ask for the thread to be moved to the gardening topic, OP. I wouldn't bother with image ID apps, most of them still seem to be pretty useless for plants. AI still isn't a match for the real thing.Grin

GeorgiaGirl52 · 01/04/2021 15:32

blue cornflower, don't know, orange tulips

Ninkanink · 01/04/2021 15:34

@MrsTerryPratchett

There's a gardening section on here.
As above, you’d be better off posting again on the gardening topic, ot asking MNHQ to move this thread for you.
Sprig1 · 01/04/2021 15:36

Cornflowers on the left and tulips on the right. Can you post a closer pic of the middle ones?

CheerfulBunny · 01/04/2021 15:36

The middle one we called Waxflower when I was a florist. Not sure about the other two. The blue ones look like cornflowers maybe but the orange ones... some sort of flower from a bulb. I was going to say fritilaria or crown imperials. Do they smell oniony?

Ninkanink · 01/04/2021 15:37

I love cornflowers, it’s such a pretty blue. I also love tulips. So this photo makes me happy.

Ninkanink · 01/04/2021 15:39

(Not sure they are tulips, mind, but they look close enough that it’s good enough for me!)

SoupDragon · 01/04/2021 15:42

I don't think the orange ones are tulips. Aren't they one flower per stem?

bloodywhitecat · 01/04/2021 15:46

Cornflower, Canterbury bells, ???

ErrolTheDragon · 01/04/2021 16:06

The middle one we called Waxflower when I was a florist.

I'd never come across that, it does look like you've got it!Smile

AdaColeman · 01/04/2021 16:34

The middle plant with the slightly needle like leaves could be bell heather, especially if the leaves are in whorls of three leaves.
