Blooms Abound

The best bloom time in my yard is always August, all of my favorites are blooming in a rainbow of colors. The echinacea in the front is amazing as always, almost as tall as I am. The only disappointment I have is that I know I planted two more last year.

I don’t remember where.

But dang it, I know because I love them so much, that I made sure to put in a couple more.

And the same giant one keeps coming up, and the others? Phht. Who knows. Casualties of my gardening.

There’s a few of those.

But not the Rudbeckia this year! Nuh-uh, nope, these finally came back!

I have Oriental lilies and sweet peas in the same area, and the smell is enough to make you swoon with happiness.

I could lay on the grass by these and the climbing sweet peas and inhale for hours.

And there are more coming.

My crazy tiger lilies. These are an heirloom variety, I read once, and used to be rare.

I am not sure how, when they spit these black seed pods all over and spread like wildfire.

Which is my kinda gardening. No effort. No fail. No problem.

I even love how this is the top view, they are bass-ackwards and point down.

If anyone wants some of those crazy spitting seed pods, let me know! I am letting a lot of my plants go to seed and will have some this fall to give out.

Delphiums, lupines, hollyhocks,tiger lilies and my gallardia all are self-seeding and spreading.

Can I mail wild seeds in the mail?
