Amazing Flowers as usual David!! Few of mine are just now slowly getting some buds...much slower than yours and nowhere as many. I enjoy seeing everyone's beautiful flowers and hoya plant pictures as well...I'm always at a loss for words after seeing them! Thanks for posting and looking forward to the next batch...you certainly have a HUGE collection. So many different ones most I've never seen or heard of before.

Looks like Calendula, pot marigold to me.

PNW = Pacific NorthWest. The area generally described as west of the Cascade mountain range and extending from British Columbia to northern California, so a good portion of the northern Pacific coast. A very mild modified Mediterranean climate that is very conducive to plant growth. A great many wholesale growers that supply plants to all of North America are located here. ETA: Most of this area enjoys a USDA zone 8 and some locations, even up to zone 9. This is the furthest north these very mild zones exist in North America. All thanks to Pacific Ocean currents.

Jon, your flowers and garden are lovely. Thank you for the photos! I can only comment or post when I use my desktop computer. The iPad no longer functions with Houzz, but it is an old iPad. I do not have a smartphone (yet).
