These are a few pictures of some of the perennials from
Kiwi. They're all doing quite well and the blooms are beautiful. Hopefully someday they'll grow up to be as beautiful a garden as where they came from. I haven't a clue the names of the flowers, but maybe Kiwi will drop by and let us know.
Beautiful! I'll play name-that-flower, as I've learned a few names over the years of gathering perennials from friends' gardens. The top photo looks like evening primrose, and the bottom photo looks like rose campion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the middle is a dianthus.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really need to grow some flowering annuals along with my veggies to dress up my front landscaping area.
ReplyDeleteLise, I knew somebody would know the names! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I think you're right!
Laura, I thought I'd pretty things up. Hopefully the pollinators will like them as well.
I noticed on your goals list, increasing your seed saving.
ReplyDeleteThat's something I've wanted to do, but I am not sure about storage. I gather I dry seeds before storage.
But then do I seal them in envelopes? Seal them in glass jars? (Lots of empty spice jars around.) Not seal them? Keep them in the fridge? At room temp? Freeze them?
Any clues gratefully accepted.
Karen, it's still relatively new to me as well. So far, I'm putting seeds into envelopes and then keeping them in the freezer. I'll elaborate more in a post.
ReplyDeleteGidday Heather ... your peeps are right! Evening primrose, Sweet Williams aka Dianthus, and campion! Can't wait to see the garden when we get back from Canada! Flowers are looking beautiful!!! Go grow girl!!!
