wildflowers

Some colors are appearing in the wildflower garden.  The sweet alyssum were already blooming, but today I noticed some new ones while watering them in the hot hot heat wave.

Google told me the yellow one is a yellowcress and it is actually a weed.  Ohhh am I supposed to pull that one out?


I can see the hue of this Siberian wallflower all the way from the house.  It's surrounded by sweet alyssum.


And the prettiest one of all so far - a Johnny jump-up that I noticed at the last moment - it jumped out at me - hahahahaha...


The wildflower mix that I scattered back in the end of April included the following:
baby's breath, blue flax, lupine, calendula, Siberian wallflower, yarrow, sweet alyssum, English daisy, Shasta daisy, lancelet coreopsis, dianthus, coneflower, California poppy, Indian blanket, Iceland poppy, Mexican hat, Black-eyed Susan, and Johnny jump-up.  Hope to see more of them soon!
