Here are the answers to the plant quiz. See how well you guessed:
The plant on the left is Yarrow. I already have some beautiful yellow yarrow and some short rose-fuchsia yarrow. I'm looking forward to this Red Yarrow in my garden.
The plant in the middle is Mallow, Zebrina variety, a cousin to Hollyhock. Another site states that it's often mistaken for Hibiscus. I will collect the seed pods for next year for more plants and will post a picture when it's blooming.
The plants growing in the container to the right would be hard to guess correctly at this stage. They are money plants grown from seed sent to me by MsGreen Thumb Jean. I am hoping that they will end up blooming this season; they had a late start this spring.
I'll post pictures of all three later in the summer when, hopefully, they'll be at their peak. How many did you get right? Thanks for playing along!

A big ZERO for me! :)

Three strikes and I'm out. I remember money plants. My grandmother used to grown them. I should have guessed that one. Thanks for the fun quiz.
