Kitchen sink garden is filling much faster than I thought. Mild weather?
Sorry I didnt realize the settings on my camera/phone had been changed. I let a student video a lab and apparently she altered some settings.
Some Datura with friends.

Was trying to show how well the snap dragon vines are growing.
Native perennial Gailardia.
Mystery weed has small buds. Do these coreopsis have such tiny blossoms?
Salvia regla finally putting out a few flowers in a different bed.
That mystery one almost looks like a Brazillian Verbena. You will know as soon as it blooms.
Mystery "weed" is a plains coreopsis.
I knew it was coreopsis based on over form but no idea which. I only saved 2 of them. I know B. verbena and its not allowed in my yard.
Awh...Cheryl...BV is a hit for butterflies and a host plant too! LOL! I know it is sooo tall and weird...I pulled it out the first year too. LOL! I do love it now.
I think its on the invasive species list or should be! It's actually a cool plant but I don't want to encourage it. It is growing wild all around the area I live.
Hmmm took me years to get these to growing enough where they would attract butterflies.
Are we talking about 2 different plants?

I am going to have a closer look at the plants growing in nearby fields to see which one it really is.
Yes we are talking two different plants Cheryl. Although others say the kind I have may be invasive, I just don't find it to be. It reseeds very little each year. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/141/
Just one more reason I should learn the botanical names! LOL!
