Today is also the next to the last day of National Wildflower Week. With all this exposed skin, I am too busy swatting mosquitoes to take pictures of all of the wildflowers in my garden, but I was able to get a picture of a columbine and milkweed.
Enjoy your garden and the wildflowers today and every day, how ever you may choose.
Somehow I always manage to avoid this garden event. I did get to enjoy National Wildflower Week with a few wildflower walks. I need to give Antelope Horn milkweed another try and now that deer are banned from the back garden I might even add columbine too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I did not participate either. I like a layer between me and nature, especially when insects and pointy plants are involved. I wish I could get more antelope horn milkweed to grow. This plant popped up unexpectedly and I have not been able to get any of the seeds from this plant to sprout.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried antelope horn yet, but I did have success cold stratifying tuberosa and swamp milkweed. It took a few weeks after the cold for them to germinate but so far they are doing well. If you haven't tried that you might with the antelope horns.
ReplyDeleteMisti, I have tried to let the seeds sprout as they would naturally. I may have to try cold stratification to improve my odds. Thanks for letting me know it worked for you.
