Bluebonnet, it couldn't be a Texas blog without one!
These bluebonnet flowers grow wild in the back part of the property, where the gardens are made. We planted them all from seed. The best way to get them started is to catch the seed from the dried pod, just before they pop, and toss them on the ground where you want them to grow. They can lay waiting to grow many years, before the conditions are just right. The right time to toss them is when they would fall in nature, on their own.
Poppy
The seed for this poppy was planted the year before last. We had such a dry summer, and I am really surprised that they sprouted. They should be a pink poppy. I have never grown this one before. It was gifted to us by a woman that works with my husband. Thanks Glenna.
More Iris
This iris is very beautiful. I saw it blooming in my neighborhood a few years ago, while on a walk. I asked for this plant, and was told that I could take what ever I wanted. I took enough for a good start. I was told that it came from a yard in San Antonio.
