Prime flower time.

5 Aug

My yard may not have much curb appeal with random flowers planted in odd configurations, but all that matters is that the cut flowers are grown for a time like this —

It’s cut flower season! Oh, the great joy I find in going into the yard to see what’s newly blooming, to cut flowers to bring inside. (Spiders often included. The one downside.)

This all started back in April when I planted many of these plants from seed. My babies have grown up! (Not from seed: gladiolus from bulbs, snapdragons, cone flowers, dahlias from tubers. The rest: seed.)

I’m already making notes for next year. Will work on the curb appeal part.
