Ha! One Snuck By!

A couple of months ago I bought a packet of Coreopsis seeds and scattered them in my pots. Then I promptly forgot about them. Recently I thought about the seeds and cursed the nursery for selling me bad seeds that were probably expired and didn't germinate.

Yesterday I looked down and there was a cute little Coreopsis blossom in one of my planters. Then  I examined the leaves and realized I have been very deliberately weeding Coreopsis plants out for the last couple of weeks. This one snuck by, because it is just so freaking crowded in that planter that I didn't notice it and thereby didn't murder it!

 

Coreopsis



Plucked and Stuck

I love breaking off pieces of my sedum and portulacas and just sticking them into bare soil. It's fun to watch them grow and a cheap, cheap, cheap way to fill up your containers. The Ganzania were purchased. Everything else was plucked and stuck. Can't wait to see this in September!

 



 

Ganzania, Creeping Jenny, Sedum, Dianthus

 

 

 

Besides ganzania another new flower for me this year is coreopsis. I am hoping they come back next year - they are light and airy, perfect to keep terrace claustrophobia at bay.

And here they are from another view.

 

 

 

 

And just in case you are interested in seeing what is in that corner that has been cut off...here you go!
