Only 2 or 3 colors, but I felt this guy deserved an honorable mention.
Zoom into this one to see the colors besides lavender.
The little fallen stamen collected in the petal save this one from being nearly monochrome.

Very nice pics! I enjoyed seeing them very much. I take a lot of plant pics when I'm away from home too. You're in good company around here! : )

Forgot about this thread. Beautiful examples, Tiffany!. I was just discussing tulips on another thread and came across these photos from early this year

Indeed! I'm not at all a fan of elaborate, frilly cultivars, but I'm as attracted to red-orange-yellow combos as you are to purple, so those jumped into my shopping cart. I had fun finding violas to accompany them in the pot. They got a lot of attention!

That is outstanding! So cheerful!

Zoรซ had an interesting red and white zinnia specimen, back on https://garden.org/thread/view... in this message thread. Actually that zinnia specimen was good enough to be an excellent amateur zinnia breeder's plant. It is very competitive with my breeder zinnia specimens and white as a backside color is very useful.
These are some of my "breeder" specimens. Remember that you can click on a photo here to see a larger version and you can dismiss that by clicking on the "X" in the lower right-hand corner. Another "trick" is to hit the F11 key to remove your browser's headings, which makes a bit more space available for the expanded photo. You can undo that by hitting the F11 key again.
Those are a few of my past year's "breeder" zinnias.

How about clematis-clamahtus. Potato-potahto, tomato-tomahto..
However it's pronounced in your neck of the woods it doesn't matter as long as your happy with what you pick from the nursery.
They can be Divas but well worth the waiting and versatility .
Here's several different colors, shapes, sizes of clematis showing different uses for display. Some climbing up and across a huge trellis to bloom the same time as wisteria, others climbing thru roses, camilla's, holly trees, up and across arbors or even as ground cover to shade their own roots.
Iโm so busy... โI donโt know if I found a rope or lost a horse.โ
