Flower Flats Posted on March 29, 2012 by Bill Chance Down in the Dallas Farmer’s Market there are a couple of plant shops that specialize in bedding plants – annual color. The plants are laid out on the sidewalk in flats and make a beautiful, colorful, carpet. Blue Yellow Purple Red Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailLinkedInRedditLike this:Like Loading... Related
Well, they have a guy out there with a hose all day. Last summer, I couldn’t keep up and lost every non-tree plant I had. Reply
It’s cold and dismal here. What beautiful pictures to see on a day like this. I can’t wait to be able to get out and plant some annuals like these. Reply
what are the red flowers? i need something red to put in front of my green/yellow euonymous shrubs. the red sets them off well. lots of sun too. Reply
I know what they are, but I’m having a brain freeze trying to remember. I’ll come back when it comes to me. Reply
You’re right! Geranium is what I was trying to think of. I had them in pots – they are hard to kill. Reply
Here in the UK, a frost can damage, even kill them, so we don’t plant out until all fear of frost has gone. They are beautiful though.
Great pictures. It must take a lot of watering to keep these guys happy?

If it makes you feel any better, it won’t be long until it’s unbearably hot here.
Sure does! Because by then it will be comfortably balmy here. 😉
Beautiful, its gives the feel good factor to all passers by.
Thank You!!

thanks for trying.
Another reader figured it out. They are Geraniums. Good, hardy plants, if memory serves.
maybe they will be this year’s red flowers. thanks. and thanks to the other reader.
The colors are wonderful. Great pictures
Thanks!
I think the red flowers are Pelagoniums, or the common name is Geraniums.
