Your blue flowers are lobelia (fan flowers) - I see them a lot but don't think I've ever grown them.<br /><br />Seeing your packet of nigella seed, I think maybe that was what I started with but for some reason the blues took over. Maybe the other colors are not as hearty and don't re-seed as well?<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what seeds come up and do well 'hidden' under the other flowers. A few years I planted pansies early spring, then sprinkled portulaca (rose moss) underneath. The pansies lasted until summer got hot and by then the rose moss was starting to bloom. It worked out nicely!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248202844330247654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-16122594137812835692013-07-01T19:12:20.124-04:002013-07-01T19:12:20.124-04:00Lizzy,

(of course the squirrels wanted some, too). Cardinals and Blue Jays, looking for food at the same time -- what a beautiful site that was. Don't see as many in Florida - just squawking herons, ibis and egrets. ...and lots of Mockingbirds.<br />I don't feed birds anymore - they have plenty of food around here. <br />Love your flowers. If i want flowers, I have to plant them in fall -- they bloom over winter then die out in mid-spring (too hot for them, i guess). i have some Zinnias blooming right now.<br /><br />Wanda517Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
