A flower-filled garden in Turkey

Ev sent in these images of her garden in Antalya , Turkey .

Bougainvillea is an iconic vine in lovesome , dry parts of the world . Only sturdy in Zones 9–11 , it is a massive , thorny plant — but WOW , what a display when it bloom ! The actual flowers are small and snowy ; the intense Battle of Magenta color seen here is produced by the colorful bracts that surround the real blooms . But blossom or bracts , it has sustain to be one of the most beautiful plants in the universe .

So gorgeous .

Rows of potted geranium ( Pelargoniumspp . and hybrid ) . The pots in the front are the definitive zonal geranium , commonly arise as annuals all over the world . The ones in the back are the group sometimes called purple or Martha Washington geraniums . They have implausibly beautiful flowers but loosely do n’t fly high in areas with hot , humid summer . regard our plant guide to geraniums here .

Purple coneflower ( Echinaceapurpurea , Zones 3–9 ) is aboriginal to North America but has become a popular garden plant all over the world .

pinkish roses , possibly the variety ‘ Queen Elizabeth ’ . Roses are a ripe selection for teetotal - mood gardens because they are far less prostrate to fungous disease on the leaf when farm in low humidness .

A wide shot of the garden . In the foreground is clary salvia ( Salviaviridis , one-year ) . The beautiful pink color is , again , acquire not by the flowers , but the coloured bracts below each genuine bloom .
