Heuchera 'Bressingham Hybrid': flowers

Heuchera, known in English as "coral bells", "alum root", or by the genus name, and in French as heuchère, is a genus of perennials native to North America. They are grown for their delicate spires of bell shaped flowers, or increasingly for their foliage; many interesting new cultivars are available. I love the dainty red flowers on this cultivar.

Viola 'Sorbet Coconut Duet': flowers

Viola hybrids are small annuals grown for their flowers, which are like small pansies. Like pansies, violas are available in a wide range of colours: purple, yellow, blue, mauve, pink, rusty red, orange, and white.

Although violas self-sow, the offspring will often have different-coloured flowers.

Matthiola incana 'Midget Lavender'

Matthiola incana, known in English as "stock", "common stock", or "hoary stock" and in French as matthiole, giroflée quarantaine, giroflée des jardins, giroflée rouge, quarantaine, or violier, is a tender biennial (grown as an annual in Toronto gardens) native to Eurasia, with spikes of delicously fragrant flowers in a variety of colours. The 'Midget' series of cultivars are about 30 cm tall.

Antirrhinum majus 'Montego White'

Antirrhinum majus, known in English as "snapdragon" and in French as gueule de loup or muflier, is a tender perennial (grown as an annual in Toronto gardens) native to the Mediterranean. Snapdragons have spikes of showy flowers in a wide variety of colorus; each flower looks a bit like a dragon's (or wolf's) head, with "jaws" that can be made to open by gently squeezing the sides of the flower. The 'Montego' series are dwarf cultivars, only 25-30 cm tall.

Verbena 'Romance Pink'

Verbena, known in English as "vervain" and in French as verveine, is a genus of about 250 herbaceous and semi-woody flowering plants mostly native to the Americas, though there are some European species. Verbena hybrids, like this one, are widely available annuals bearing flat-topped clusters of small flowers in a wide variety of colours: pink, purple, red, white, peach, and bicolours. They are said to attract butterflies, though I haven't witnessed this myself.
