EDITOR'S NOTE

Welcome, friends:

Thank you for your enthusiasm for flower gardening and for your interest in this book! Our intent in curating this collection is to provide guidance, inspiration, and entertainment along with timesaving tips, practical advice, and ideas to spark your imagination.

We had a range of folks in mind when developing the content: novice gardeners with germinating curiosity, budding growers who want to add color and variety to their yard or containers, and seasoned horticulturists whose cutting beds are the envy of the neighborhood.

Here you will all find help and solutions for planning and preparing pots and plots; choosing and maintaining plants—natives and non-; and enjoying the endless benefits of flowering plants and shrubs, from spectacular fresh or dried blooms to beneficial pollinators (calling all butterflies and hummingbirds!) to the beauty of birds seeking shelter and sustenance and bees spreading pollen and collecting nectar.

Dozens of plants are named on these pages, and 32 are profiled with specific details, such as their reputation in the plant world, tips on how to start them successfully and care for them to maturity (while thwarting pests and diseases!), and recommended varieties. For many, we also include fascinating facts about them in folklore and/or history.

Some plants in which you have an interest may not be included; in consultation with experienced gardeners, we chose these 32 because they are popular and common to most areas of the United States and/or Canada and have generated a great number of questions by visitors to Almanac.com. You’ll find many more flowering plants, with suggestions on how to use them, in the “Inspiration” section of this book.

Because this is an Old Farmer’s Almanac publication and we love to share our passion for plants and gardening, we have included flower lore, flower gardening quotes, and anecdotal tales from gardeners. We welcome stories about your flowers, too—your beauties, your deadheads, your floricultural unforgettables. Share them—and ask questions about other plants—at Almanac.com or
on our social media.

We believe that with this book, you’ll have a flowering future ahead. Now, let’s head to the garden!

–Janice Stillman

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

I bought & used these for a Senior Adult banquet event. They were durable and beautiful. The exquisite design complimented the plates and the round gold placemats I used for the centerpieces. Lots of favorable comments from those attending the banquet.

Pretty color
Style: Red, Size: 180PCS
I am given this five-star based on the looks of it because of that it arrived too late and didn't arrive until the day of my party. I had already purchased some other plastic wear to use. I wish this would have came sooner because it would have been beautiful for my Christmas party. I am going to store it for next year's Christmas party and see if the color fades at all. If the color fades it may turn it into a pretty pink who knows. All I know is the plastic ware seems very sturdy and is gorgeous.
