Flowers from the Netherlands

I hope everything is well in your side of the world. I had a busy day again. My friend invited me to go to the neighbouring village in the Netherlands to buy plants for our balconies. I didn’t go with her as I had an appointment already. I told her she could buy me flowers in the pots if she liked to. She bought me the pots of flowers. They were very cheap. Just imagine 4 pots of flowers for only 5euros. Usually, 1 pot of flower costs 2.99 € here in Germany. She bought me 8 pots and I will collect them in her house tomorrow. The problem is, we don’t know the name of these flowers. I have to Google them. Do you know the name of the flowers in the photo above? Anyway, happy Friday again. Time really flies so past. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend.

No, I don't know its name, but they look so beautiful.As we don't have space for a garden, we have grown flower plants in flower pots. Around 95 percent of them are rose. Thanks for sharing the pic.

It’s called Saxifraga rosacea flower as what I know in the comments. Roses are also beautiful. I have 2 pots of roses but they are not flowering yet. Thanks @Shivram57. Have a nice week.

The flowers look very good. We have some such flowers at our home but may be because of soil or water quality, we do not see too much growth. I hope that they grow well at your place.

They are lovely, and that was so sweet of her to pick you up some, but I cannot tell you what their name is. I have seen these in planters, they are quite popular.

One of the things I love about the warmer weather in spring is buying and planting new species of flowers. They can really brighten up a garden. Your friend made an excellent choice, very colorful!

Those are such beautiful flowers and in such large containers, too. I use an app that identifies plants which may help you. Sorry, I don’t recognize those.

I had a plant app before but I deleted it to save space in my phone. They are called Saxifraga rosacea as what Anna and Rebelann commented. Now I have memorised the name Grace bought the same flowers and so I can tell her tomorrow their names. Thanks @DianneN and have a wonderful weekend.
