I know it's too early to sow any seeds but I couldn't resist buying these flower seeds when I walked past the seed display in Walmart. Every year the orange California Poppies self-seed in the front yard even in the gravel parking area. I thought maybe these pretty coloured ones might do as well.
from the internet:
Jelly Beans is a mouth-watering mix of huge blooms in shades of orange, salmon, rose and gold. Easy to grow, just scatter in prepared well-drained soil. Attracts beneficial insects such as hoverflies. Self-sows.
I saved seeds from my very tall zinnias last year but I thought I'd add these striped ones that only grow 20" high.

Right now in the front of the house there are various early flowers....
Chionodoxa also known as Glory of the Snow have spread willy-nilly across the flowerbed
as have the Scillas (which the grands called Sillies)
A few Hyacinths came through the winter. I think our winters may be too wet for them.
I have exactly one daffodil in the front. Others have leaves but no buds nor blooms.Better luck with them in the back.
That's my flower report for the beginning of April.
I was reassured by the many comments about needing a day of recuperation after a day of work. It seems we're all unable to keep up with past energy levels. We keep doing as much as we can.

I wish my daffodils came back year after year like my Wood Hyacinths, which I used to incorrectly call Scylla, do.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteScillas are such pretty flowers. I'm always happy when mine start to appear.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are already looking so nice. The only thing blooming here yet are the daffodils.
ReplyDeleteThe blooms are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so nice to see flowers and I enjoyed your photographs and your beginning of April report!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy growing your seeds, lovely colours.
All the best Jan
Wouldn't it be great if they grew real jelly beans? 😄
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty....I love your pictures. How wonderful. diane in northern wis
ReplyDeleteThe scillas are very nice. The bird on my video is a common Robin he lives in a bushy part of our garden in fact we have the couple it’s his territory. We also have Finches maybe different birds in our country. Yes I am less active than in the past and need some rest more often, but take my time.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers have always a wonderful home in your garden and even on the way in front of your garden in the stones. It's best idea to buy some seeds, before they are not to become any longer ! Wonderful blue stars, I LOVE them !*!*!*!*

I learned something here today - what I've been calling Scillas are just one of many kinds. Glory of the Snow is a much more poetic name. I'm getting impatient to plant flower seeds - I started Snapdragons and they are quite hardy, so may begin hardening them for pots. Hooray for spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteHere we've got grow lights in the basement, with dozens of seeds sprouting already.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful blooming plants already! I often need a day off if I over do:)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, your Glory of the Snow is gorgeous! So is the scilla. I have no luck with either, but daffodils have spread about everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI bought seeds too. Poppies don't grow for me, which is sad because I like them so much.
