| Very pretty! And the salad looks good. Next year I'm definitely doing lettuce (I eat a lot of salads). |

| That salad looks yummy! Is that Portmeirion Botanic Garden I see under it? I really enjoyed my D. barbatus 'Sooty' this year. Gathered lots of seeds to sow for more blooms next year as well as for trades. |

| It is Portmeirion Botanic Garden, gardenweed. Seems only fitting to love such a pattern as a gardener. :) Re "Sooty"--do you think it will come true to seed? I do love the color. I have four clumps of 2nd year plants this year, and I am so happy with them, too. Thanks for looking, everybody! cheers,

| Thanks for posting them. Your mystery columbine is gorgeous! |

| Lovely photos. I am partial to pink and that columbine is a beauty, as is the poppy. |

| Norabelle - I expect the dianthus 'Sooty' to come true from seed since I grew it from seed I bought from Diane's Flower Seeds. According to her website all her seeds are open pollinated as were mine. Don't see why the seeds I harvested shouldn't come true unless they got cross-pollinated with another dianthus but since there aren't any others growing nearby, I'm thinking it's unlikely. |

| Lovely pictures! I love the Columbine. That is a nice surprise. |
RE: June and July Blooms

| Thanks, gardenweed! I usually let my dianthus self sow, but I like the Sooty so much, I want to save seed and WS more. Your post encourages me to do this and master my urge to dead head. :) I am saving seeds of the mystery columbine. I don't know if it will come true, but it will be fun to try. All of my columbine are now mysteries, but the double-triple petals of this one are so lovely. I had another that was similar petal shape, but was bi-color purple and white. Maybe I will see it again some year. :) |
