Nobody can see this flower bed in our backyard. On one side is the 6 foot fence and on the other side is our giant concrete tornado shelter.
I think we grew green beans in it a few years ago.
This year I planted zinnia seeds, and for good measure, I added some Oklahoma Wildflower seeds I picked up free from our local library, maybe 2 years ago.
The zinnias grew and the wildflower seeds really showed out!
I’m not sure these are actually wildflowers though, I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1991 and none of these are things I see growing wild.
But whatever they, they are pretty!
there are wild sunflowers growing along roads and in rural areas but they are much smaller.
Google lens says this blue is Borage
Zinnias in a different bed.
Zinnias in a different bed.
our neighbors can’t see them but the bees and butterflies can.
And would you believe there is a Robin sitting on the nest again?
They usually take a few weeks to lay and hatch their eggs.
they are little messy but we enjoy watching them.
Hope you all are having a good weekend

So pretty - my kind of flower mix-up!

ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful - what terrific varieties and colors!
ReplyDeleteThe borage is a wonderful pollinator plant, deters some garden pests, and attracts beneficial insects. That's a great one. Your wildflower bed is beautiful! I was gifted some wildflower seeds, which I planted this year. Like you, there are a number I've never seen growing wild here, but I've really enjoyed the blooms.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful. Wish I could grow things like that! Just too hot here.
