Photo of Any blooms yet on your WS seedlings?

Here's a pic of the winter sown plants. You can't see the Platycodon/Ballon flowers but they're in there. Everything is WS except the sweet potato vine I kept over winter from cuttings, and a couple Artemisias near the street. I widened the bed yesterday so there's an empty strip down the 'lawn' side.

The biggest plants in there are Nicotiana, one at the far end is blooming. There are buds on a few Heleniums and Gaillardia! And the Gaillardia buds look to be blue? It's supposed to be AZ Sun (yellow and orange), we'll see. Blue would be awesome... maybe I confused it with something else.
Edited to add:The Gaillardia is what it's supposed to be and is doing great, the blue buds turned out to be Cornflower, Centaurea cyanus. Here's a link to a picture taken July 10th:
