Where are they now ?

With so much going on in the garden in July, the seeds I sowed a few months ago were almost forgotten ...till  now. Bupleurim rotundifolium making an appearance. 

Zaluziaskya capenensis, we'll just say 'Night Phlox'. Just beginning to open, these I sowed in  every  spare pot I could find, so there are plenty.

I love these firey orange Calendula 'Neon'. They are making a return appearance . I planted some a few years back , then forgot how much I enjoyed them and forgot to reorder them .

A new one and this the first bloom , Dianthus rainbow loveliness ,  And lovely it is ! 

And lastly, after being so disappointed with the Caster oil plant last year. This year success. Rich soil and plenty of water....

  1. Oh, I love the color of those Calendula. I sowed a packet of Solar Flashback, and some of the colors are nice, but some seem to be kind of boring. I'm wondering what yours looks like fully open. Looks like you've kept them nicely watered too. A few of mine got scorched while I was away at the Fling. Off to look up where I can get seeds for Neon.
