for Sylvie
I remembered you picking up a few seeds from these guys when I met you at Chris's so just thought i'd give you a taste of what you could be in for....
Fields of black eyed susans... they can kinda get away on you if you aren't careful (and, obviously, i'm less than careful) But they sure are a bounty of colour at a time when many other things are dying off i'm not sure how they all came to be... I tried some wildflower seed in that area about three years ago and these may have lingered from that, who knows! but I love them. Unfortunately, the wonderful patch is right in the middle of the newly fenced area of my yard, so.... we'll see how they hold up to doggies Day one of doggy playdates: Happy Doggies Less happy flowers

WOW look at all those flowers! That's bee and butterfly HEAVEN! I can just imagine the buzzing sound in there.
A house down the road from us has a mega steep slope in their front lawn. So they raked off the slope and planted wild flower packs. OMG the color! It's so pretty and I love it when we drive by that house in late summer. They live right beside a cemetery too and many flower seed "escaped" their front yard and now grow among some grave stones. It looks very pretty. This year I see a lot more have "escaped" and the flowers are slowly going further and further down the road. I love to see mass plantings like that. I want seeds too! hehe

Thank you Otter
Plants don't usually grow like that here. The only 2 that I had trouble with were lambs ear and can't think of the name of the other one but it is a pest. It has practically taken over my whole garden. I was warned but thought it wouldn't happen to me All of my plants have stopped blooming except for one beautiful rose. I just love your black eyed susans.

Gorgeous flowers, otter! And flower-tramplers. Did they look that happy before or after they ran through the flowers?
And when did you get your yard fenced? I'll bet Nolie loves that!!!

I've been working on the fence pretty much since Nolie got here....the day I took the flower pics was our first "trial run" to see if it would keep Nolie contained. So far so good (but there are definitely a few places held together with the equivalent of duct tape )
