Carol - will that aster bloom all summer, or does it prefer the cooler times such as
spring and fall? Most asters here are like that.

Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

Here is the first Black Oil Sunflower Blossom that has opened in my yard this year. It opened just this morning. I didn't plant it. The BIRDS did. They knock a lot of
seed out of my feeders to the ground which usually sprout. I just let it grow for the Goldfinches to eat later in the Summer. They are adorable eating the
seeds our of the sunflower heads.

Excellent Thorn.Excellent in photo and ideas. I pull the same caper for the love of birds....Some come back yearly in the beds and I let them grow just to see the birds fight over the harvest . They sure do make a mess........LOL thanks for sharing All your ideas ALL

I like your 'Stella
lily Lynne~!
don't let the soil dry out ~ inside indirect sun ,, out side more shade in the heat of the summer for your carrion! IF you take outside
spring and summer early fall it will have a growth spurt!

Thanks for the advice Diane - I think I'll hang it in the tree next to the pitcher plant - it gets dappled shade there most of the day.

Love those Diane! I used to always grow the peppermint one too, but haven't found it for sale around here the past few years. I'm sure I could buy
seeds , but I haven't done
seeds much lately either...
