Love the dark Mexican Hat. :-)

great photos, dem_pa. What are the pink flowers behind the coreopsis?

I winter sowed that three years ago and got three plants.
It was marked pink musk mallow (malva moschata) The bees love it. It blooms most of the summer. The seeds are easy to collect. I have a pint container of seeds. Email me if you want some.

Thanks, dem-pa. I have some of the pink malva seeds from plants that I had growing two years ago. They bloom so long and full. I have to put my malvas inside my fenced in veggie bed as the rabbits and deer love them. Think I will ws some for next years garden.

Nice!

That IS Coreopsis tinctoria...Plains Coreopsis.

I tried that Malva once but didn't like it much...your's looks great!
Thanks for the pic of the Blackberry Lily. I got seeds twice as bonuses this year. Do they need cold strat or can I hold them off until and spring or summer sow? Thanks

Vera

In my book "Success with Seeds" it is "not" on the cold strat list.

I wintersowed blackberry lily last year... it was a very late germinator, two of them finally did when I almost gave up on them. I cant wait for flowers!

Dempa, I LOVE the pink musk mallow!!! How tall do they get & do they spread throughout the summer?
