I love both of these plants and I think maybe the first one is a Balloon Flower.I'm not sure as I did plant some seeds.




The next one I haven't any idea.I don't remember planting it.Its still in the small starter jar so I must have I will be trying to get seeds as its a very determand little plant.I didn't find a place to plant it.

hello glenda,

i'd say the first one is indeed the
baloon flower or a variety of it.

but the second i bet it's an "obedient plant" - Physostegia virginiana.
We have those around here, mainly with white flowers, but i saw pics of pink or light purple flowers...
here they are already kinda passing, and the seeds are almost dry.

happy?

Calin Smile
