How did flowers evolve on both trees and plants? Both Trees and small plants evolved flowers. My question is which came first, the tree or the flower. If trees evolved first, then I would expect to see no flowers on trees at all, or flowers that are dramatically different from those in plants. If plants evolved flowers before trees, then I would expect to see all, or most, trees to have bright colorful flowers. So how is it that only a few trees have flowers, but small plants have flowers as well? I am not asking to prove a religious point. I am honestly asking for curiosity sake.

What flowers will grow best on east side of house? I live in Zone 7b. I am wanting to do a flower bed next to my house facing east. My thumb is not green. Does anyone have any suggestions as to tall flowers for close to the house, mid-high flowers for the middle, and a good border flower? I would like to do a variety of different colored Foxgloves for next to the house and some Phlox for the border. Any suggestions? There are no big trees nearby, just a tall thin bush/tree on the south side of the garden that doesn't realy give much shade. Otherwise it's pretty much open. It's in Oklahoma, like I said, zone 7b. so it can get pretty hot. I really don't want anything taller than about 4' or so in the back right up next to the house, that's why I was thinking Foxgloves. Something that is really too much taller than that would be too tall in my opinion. Any more suggestions? So far everything sounds great and maybe my thumb will have a tinge of green this year!
