Name that gourd

This post is really just a bunch of weird/pretty things I found  in the garden and an update of what the 'herb' (it's mostly flowers) garden looks like now. I might do a more in-depth post on what's in the garden later on, I'm not sure. 



They have leaves like this

One has a guard on it  

   Three of these came up in the garden and neither one of us knows what it is. All three grew into vines like the one to the left here.  Mom thinks it may be one of the ornamental gourds we tried to grow last year. But we throw a lot of the seeds from what we eat into the mulch and the mulch goes straight into the garden, so it really could be anything.





   This is our purple cone flower. I thought it was cool the way it starts out yellow-green and then turns purple. I like this picture so much it's now my desktop background.

                                                  

   My mom's zinnias. She loves them, apparently they were one of the plants her mother loved and planted almost every year.
   Below are my four o` clocks, the oregano- with it's pretty white flower clusters-, and the rosemary plant. For some reason the yellow four o`clocks are only open in the morning while the pink the red ones open in the afternoon and are usually closed by then. Next to it and below the two are photos showing how the garden looks now. That's Faith sitting on the cinder blocks there. From now until 6/16/13 use coupon code FATHERSDAY for 5% off your Bats Bizarre purchase.
