Some wild columbine from May of 2023 to get the thread started. 🙂

Justafewdahlias could the curling in be heat or other stress or are all the flowers on that plant doing it?

SO funny you post this because I posted on my FB and IG the other day wondering if the frilly white cosmos flowers here are a new form. I have been saving and growing my own seed for a few years now but always also buy apricotta cosmos. The frilly white ones look like the shape of apricotta but I don't recall seeing that in a white cosmos and wondered if I should try selecting for it. Does anyone here know?

MissyWeitzel It has been every flower I’ve cut off that plant. Just one plant is looking this way and it’s been like this all season. They joys of saving your own seeds 😂 The stripe one I haven’t paid attention to see if other ones of the plant have the stripe or not…..it’s hairs to wait for flowers to open when I’m in the habit of cutting cosmos before they open.

These nasturtiums caught my eye on the hummingbird fence. These are all volunteers and I think some don't climb and others do, but this was definitely a climber and it was really glowing on the shady side. I've got a few abutilons and oddball fuchsia things to add to this planting. Turns out hummingbirds love abutilons and they really like my climate and I like abutilons.

I have a recipe for a delicious Nasturtium Salad. I took it to a family picnic and it went over very well. I always mean to make it again but I didn't get around to it this year.

My husband took this on a mountain bike ride. So pretty!!

When I was about 6 years old I asked my mother if I could plant some seeds. She chose nasturtium seeds and I became a "gardener".
