Mostly Repeats, but with some sun!




Category: Wintersowing and Wintersowing Blooms | Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:30 am

Weve had 3 out of 5 days with mostly sun around here.. that in itself is something unheard of this year!

Goblin Blanketflower, this one looks similiar to the other one I posted, but much shorter about 8 inches high or so.



If you wanted to add orange , but afraid it might be too much of a "hot" color, I would recommend California Poppies, they are a nice mellow orange.

Backdroped with the sun, and closing for the night, they remind me of spring tulips somewhat. These poppies are probable as much non fuss flower as you can get. Maybe deadhead the seed pods too make sure they dont spread.



Some more of the triumpf carnations, lovely graceful arching habits on a 2-3 foot plant. Hopefully will be able to post a huge clump shot of these soon.



I wouldve had a bunch of different coneflowers soon, but those are gone with the deer, as is my delphiniums. I will have some liatris shots soon it appears as the deer do not like them. Yvonnes Salvia, Red Lady Salvia , Calendula, Snaps, Hibiscus Manihoot all to come. Hopefully in a week or two, oh and some ruds it appears.

Oh those orange poppies are so lovely, and yes, they do remind you of tulips don't they?
