Petunia's anyone ?

My Petunias have really taken off and are huge,Thought i'd post some pics,each basket has either 2 or 3 plants in and i have lots of pots of last years Petunia seeds that have germinated to come yet,am giving most away as there are far too many and i have enough to deadhead as it is lol
These are just the ones in the back garden,I have some more out front

These are either side of back door (3 plants in each)



Either side of back gate (2 plants in each)



On side fencing (2 plants )

(3 plants)


On back fence (these were a bit later going in)

close up


Seedlings


Be nice to see everyone else's

They are lovely, I'm going to take some of mine...I wondered what they were when I planted them as seedlings...you can tell I'm a novice to this gardening lark...some of mine are stripey though

Fair enough -

and I`ve got some of those fancy double ones

but branched out a bit this year and got some other stuff - no idea what they`re called though

and the begonias are just coming out.
All very summery!

The first yellow ones look like petunia surfinias or million bells. Very pretty.

They are beautiful.
I haven't grown so many this year, I have put Begonias in my baskets this year instead.

Pots either side of between the patio and garden;



Not a good pic but these are double Petunias around the pond;



Now I have to show you my Poppies because I love them so much!

Lovely pics Nippy,love the poppies
Claire & Daisy we have the same 'purple vein' ones, lovely pics also My pink ones are 'pink vein' but look completely different than the purple vein,much bigger flowers and lighter,thicker leaves.

I have some stripey ones too Sheree

Thanks Vicki & Lynn

Thanks for the lovely comments,i am so enjoying the garden this year
