Gold alyssum and blue flax wintersowed last year. These plants were not very impressive last year but I'm loving them now!
The bachelor buttons and shasta daisies in back (no blooms visible in this photo) were also wintersowed.

More flax in front of one of the clumps of daisies that are really getting big this year. There are some ws asters in there someplace that are just going to have to fight it out with the Shastas. The dianthus wasn't ws but I love how it lights up the beds.

Oxeye daisies with spanish lavender.

Thanks for visiting my garden!

The blue flax is so delicate looking - that's one that I can't get to germinate for the life of me! Hehehe ... must be bad seed!

Love the gold alyssum, too; the best, though, is the oxeye daisies and spanish lavender. They look like they just "happened" in that spot - gorgeous!

I also did the same gold alyssum and last year was just foliage and this year beautiful yellow blooms. Don't you just love that plant???

Thanks

Thank you all so much for your comments. As I said, hardly anyone sees my garden and it is so nice to get some feedback.

The flax just happened. A packet of seeds from Walmart and boom. Last year they didn't look so great - all floppy and sparse blooms. But this year they are magnificent. I am really loving them.

My garden in just starting to look alive with plants pushing through the soil.
Have a few daffodils adding bright yellow to go along with the green. It is always amazing how such little bits in the spring turn into lush blooms in the summer/fall.
