Flowers Galore

On Saturday, Hubby and our 8 year old daughter planted a whole bunch of flowers at the farm.

* Bachelor Buttons (Cyanus Double Mixed & Blue Boy)
* Marigolds (French Dwarf Double Mixed)
* Cosmos (Single Sensation Mixed & Cosmos sulphureus)
* Statice (Sinuata Mixed)
* Flower Garden Mix (including Calendula officinalis, Clarkia elegans & Zinnia elegans)
* Red & Orange Poppy
* Perennial Mixed Wildflowers
* Rudbeckia Marmalade
* Alyssum
* Evening Scented Stock
* Tri-Color Daisy
* Blue Salvia

They also transplanted carnations, exotic lilies and hen and chicks from the house here over to the farm.


It was so nice to see these daffodils by the fenceline earlier this spring while I was out mowing. I had thought they were goners...turns out the grass/hay was probably too high!
