| Junkyard Dog Dahlia This is the third year I have planted this tuber and the first year it has bloomed It is still trying to figure out how to do it right |
What interesting colours on the nasturtiums. I know there are varieties that hold their blooms above the foliage. I just picked up a packet off the shelves this spring, and the blooms are all hidden, but the foliage is lovely. I am a sucker for any red flower. Love that you identify the variety of plants you post pics of. The 'fire pit' full of celosia is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI really like the varigated colors on these Nasturtium but the foliage is much less robust than Alaska. I think I will go back to that.
