I started the V Bonariensis now because it's always been really slow to germinate for me. One year I spring sowed it and it did well, but last year I got nothing better than was already coming up on its own in the garden. I always get some volunteers, but like to have at least few plants that are farther along.

Haha, yes, some of my babies are ginormous! I wonder if the Seaweed Maxicrop made that much of a difference? Last year my giants were the Salvia Turkestanica and Ceratotheca, maybe it's the extra light?

The Salvia Indigo Spires is the one I thought was S Victoria when I bought it, then it got really tall and bushy. Gorgeous. It is an annual, zone 7 I think, and a hybrid. So either the seed is sterile, or if it does germinate it may not resemble the parent plant.

My maybe A Maggie Mae turns out to be either Linum or Asclepias tuberosa. :-(. But now there's another speck of green in that cellpack, which might still be it. Or something else, lol.

Yes, you all, keep up the chat, it's great! And everyone sharing their experiences is amazing, I learn more all the time, we all do.

I have cabin fever for sure... I keep studying my pics, looking for ways to improve the garden. Here are a couple more from last year.
