There nothing if not persistant...

Seedling hell.
I have to laugh when I read about cowpen daisy. I have already pulled out hundreds of volunteers and have some that will be moved or potted up. Each spring I face whether to mulch or let the native annuals take over. Guess which one I usually select? Here are some random shots of volunteers. In no particular order: poppies, CPD, coreopsis tinctoria, coreopsis basilis (love it), carolina phlox, drummond phlox, standing cyprus and several that I simply can't recall. Its a mess but it ends up being lovely.
Oh I forgot R. hirta, thats everywhere.

A couple more pics.

Lucky you Cheryl.

I think my standing cypress that I got at LadyBird Center is back. I thought it died. I guess it just went dormant. I found it today. You are lucky Cheryl to live in the right zone. Here, annuals dont come back. Too hot. I do get volunteers of Parthenium, flea bane, African Marigold, hyacinth bean vine, and blue crown passi.

Standing cyprus is an odd plant. I get some volunteers but never know what color they will be and some plants seem to overwinter.
If only you could predict where the seedlings came up. I get a lot outside of the beds which is just a waste.

Cheryl, Transplant, Transplant, Transplant!!!!
That is my Mantra.

I try but some plants don't transplant well especially when they get a little larger. Plus, how many of each does a person need?

LOL Cheryl! I remember your unknown seedling hell from last year! Too funny!

Last year was worse, I sowed a lot of seed. This year its all volunteers so there are not so many.
