below is a photo of my wildflowers that grew from seed (from my valarie). Can anyone tell me what is what---well besides the baby's breath that is??? And of course I know that the pink are Double Delight Echinacea--they are NOT part of the wildflowers, but merely growing next to them. flowers-6-30-10006.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> This is one of the wildflower mix flowers too. This is just a better view of it. flowers-6-30-10009.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/>

From what I've been told they will. I heard rabbits love lilies. I'll be finding out shortly since I planted one in the driveway bed.
I'm trying to surround my tulips, crocuses, glads and anything else that is bulb-like with daffodils. I've heard that most pests don't like daffodils or alliums for that matter.
So far I've surrounded one bed and it has protected the tulips that are planted there.

I'm worried about that. I know the rabbits can manage to go right around the allium to get to the dusty millers.
I bought some mesh to make boxes with, but it just seems so hard that I haven't even started making them.

WONDERFUL Tamara !!! simply beautiful !!! I am esp fond of the pink & the white & deep pink. I think Rodney Is going to have to OK me having another flower bed... * he says he has to OK such things as he is the one that mows around them* Lynne: What I meant was I missed the very first bloom of this year of particular bush. we bought it new this spring. sorry I was not clear.

Sometimes blooms are prettier on the table than in the garden, I couldn't resist cutting this one stalk to take in, I added some astilbe leaves.

I'm not sure what these petunia type blooms are. They volunteer each year and smell wonderful. I usually only have white but this year some are lavender. I thought they were million bells but the plant nursery lady told me I was wrong and she has no idea what they're called and that they shouldn't reseed themselves. Oh well.

dodge Thanks for being so kind, barb, but--- no--it is my inability to think and type at the same time that is at issue here... Lots of time, my brain just takes over & does as it wishes to do...

Below are my Surprise Lilies. There was a whole oval of them last year. This year the left side of the oval is all that has bloomed so far--perhaps later the rest will come--

we can do that. and I am to say, but we must have had this conversation before. on my list of who wants what kinds of seeds from me in the fall, you are down for the CC lime as well as the green envy. and Double Delight seeds as well.

Very pretty all of them, Sheri. Birds can gift you with seeds of somethings, some times. Morning glories are not weedy here because we have to make an effort to water them.

Sheri, Dodge--very pretty flowers. I LOVE the multicolored zinnias, sheri-. I may have to hunt for some of them this next year--- When we were small at home my dad would always plant Gourds. It was such fun!!! I have the morning glories in odd places like around my surprise lilies & my coconut limes. As they never want to flower, I usually pull them out.

Thanks everyone. dodge your yard is so pretty. If I didn't pull up the morning glories they'd choke out every flower in my yard.
