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?

I will take any seeds that you have to offer! I’m always looking for new stuff to put in the yard-as mom’s boyfriend says ‘What do you have against grass?’, to which I reply, ‘I hate mowing, so I garden’
LOL!
