In Illinois we were told to sprinkle the seeds on top of what is probably the last snow. But how can one know for sure that it will be the last snow?? <br />I'm pretty sure that larkspur seeds need light to germinate... remember going out to remove leaves that had blown on top of the seeded beds so they'd wake up.

When my brugmansia/Angel Trumpet was alive it also had the "cool, origami-like twist". <br /><br />Mimosa is in legumes and the pineapple guava is Acca sellowiana in the myrtle family. But check out the red flowers on an Australian bottle brush trees and you may see a similarity. Bottle brush is Callistemon, also in the myrtle family.

I wish it would re-seed in my garden; I scatter seeds in late winter and cross my fingers that some of them will eventually bloom.<br /><br />Hope the Monarchs find your milkweed!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-21831802604660455892013-05-18T21:29:36.274-05:002013-05-18T21:29:36.274-05:00The double yellow oleander is beautiful.

It reminds me of the way the datura flowers look when they're just starting to open up--that cool, origami-like twist.<br /><br />I think I lost my heart to that pineapple guava, though. Those flowers are too cool! Is it related to the mimosa, I wonder?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-13935252374650986252013-05-18T10:51:10.885-05:002013-05-18T10:51:10.885-05:00Thank you, Annie.

I certainly don't have plans to be out there except in the early morning. That oleander has a gorgeous flower. It reminds me of a narcissus bloom. Yes, that little bug is a pest in my garden too and favors the skullcaps. The delosperma and pony foot are a wonderful combination.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-38033811200837526002013-05-16T17:52:28.303-05:002013-05-16T17:52:28.303-05:00So good to see your garden Annie.
