A little late in posting but last month I took photos in nearby Dunsmuir Community Garden in Crescent Beach, BC. No idea what the names are ... can you help? Thanks!
#1 is Dahlia; 'Duet' and 'Jamaica' are close cultivar-wise. #3 looks like a Thyme of some sort; on the right hand side the blue flowers are Centaurea cyanus. #4 are Asiatic Lilies #5 looks an awful lot like Dill, but could also be Fennel.
Yes, but if it blooms I lose it as a culinary herb, which is why I grow it. I have plenty of other things in the garden for my honeybees to eat! I grow Calendula and several types of sweet clover just for them.
We used to collect Oregano in our forests together with the flowers and make wonderful tea - quite delicious! #3 - also Centaurea, Echinacea, some poppies, Nicotiana, and some white tall flowers between Cornflower and Oregano.
Andrey - the tall white flowers behind the Cornflowers are spent Cornflowers. Mine look just like that when I'm neglectful with the dead-heading.
They are lilies, but not Asiatic. Looks like Orienpet or something similar. I don't know which, but much too big to be Asiatic. Just Google 'Orienpet lilies' and you'll get pics that look like the one in your photo.
