That lemon balm must smell heavenly! And Coreopsis is lovely.
Beautiful blooms. klmccallum the Blanket Flower is indeed a perennial. There are other types, like almost all red/maroon and different variations of color. Each is unique! I agree, 14+ should write a book! A much better gardener than me.

14+ just beautiful!!
I use to grow blanket flowers, starting them from seeds, like most of my flowers. But I lost them from contractor's big feet. I forgot how much they do brighten up a bed! Next year I'm going to grow some. I'm so glad u posted that pic! Debbie

So pretty, 14+ Such a big variety. I'm drooling over your coreopsis...
I'm afraid hazel's moldy thumb has worked its 'magic' on the seed you sent me :sad: Looks like only a few of the cosmos are going to survive... No malva...no campion...no coreopsis! Even the ones I started ahead of time. What's your secret?

Well, maybe all isn't lost then. Certainly I can give them 'no attention' very well, since at this point I can't even see them!
I'm hoping the cosmos, at least, does get big enough to bloom and reseed--right now the seedlings are only about an inch-and-a-half high....but at least I know they sprouted!!

Hazel I have some mixed named Malva types that I got in a trade and I'll save some seed for you. They are making buds now. I can't wait to see how they do because I've never grown them before. I started them in March indoors. We're finally getting some sun after almost two weeks of rain and dark clouds. Yes there really isn't a need to buy lots of types of flowers because so many gardeners will save seed to freely share with others. I don't think people realize just how much gardening stuff you can get for free from places like GardenWeb and some forums. But it takes time corresponding with folks. Don't worry about the Cosmos. When they get up a bit higher, pinch off the very top section and then it will send up two shoots, get bushy and give you more blooms! I saw on a gardening show last year, they did a trial on Cosmos. One bed was dead headed and the other was not. They wanted to see if dead heading made any difference in performance. And it didn't. haha
