unknown beauties

I have absolutely no clue what these pretty blossoms are called but I took all the photos at Hollard Gardens and  I do think they are gorgeous!

In the first photo..I presume that it is what is said in wikipedia "Calendula officinalis (pot marigold, ruddles, common marigold, garden marigold, English marigold, or Scottish marigold) is a plant in the genus Calendula of the family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin. It is also widely naturalised further north in Europe (north to southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world."
Anyway...Love your colorful macros!!

They are so pretty and in beautiful colors that make me want my yard to warm up and start growing flowers. I am sorry that I don't know what they are.. Michelle from Nature Notes..

They're all beautiful. And I almost never know flower names. Unless there's a sign right under them.
