Georgia Gardening: What is blooming for you today?, 1 by Hineni

I'm pretty sure that is the intent of the word play - I hope they don't start to have like sliding petal faces or something...(grin) Thank you for the compliment, although I think I like the color of the no name one better, a little more striking with the red/yellow combination.

I bought the little mums in pots this year and they looked great when I transplanted them - then boy they looked scruffy. So I deadheaded them, and I thought they had pretty much died - now all of a sudden I am seeing new flowers on them. I can't say as they are a plant that I'll try again if these don't make it. What I have loved are the impatiens that I got -6 little cells and boy have they grown and spread! Now that's a return on my investment in my opinion. They have started to set seed, so I'm collecting some to grow in other places next year, and leaving some to seed where they are in hopes that they will return next year. You can see them under the apple tree in this pic.

I have cosmo seeds that I am going to wintersow this year - but having a hard time deciding what to interplant with them due to the gangly look you mentioned. I adore cosmos and the single zinnias - I'd have a yard full of those if I could (and will try with w/sowing!) Very pretty color on yours, I like it.

Well, back to work!
