If this photo doesn’t load, then forget this discussion. Every single flower and shrub, annual and perennial, except one shrub in the lower right was started by my own seeds or divided by me from other plants in my flower garden. Some self seed, such as that pretty pale pink group of tall flowers.
I’m so proud of me! I’m still learning and spend so much time reading about collecting and starting seeds. I’ve been labeling my plants, too.
I have such a nice new neighbor, next door, not the one across the street, whose husband owns a landscaping company. She has a forestry degree and works at the Department of Environmental Protection. She told me that she loves my Cleome. I asked what a Cleome was, because I forget the names of plants that pop up out of nowhere.
The Cleome is also called a spider plant and has the pale pink flowers. She asked me to save her about 8 seeds, but I didn’t know where to find them. Mine had self seeded from two years ago. Anyway, she showed me and now I have hundreds of seeds for her, for me, and for my gardening friends.

Looks good. You know what you should plant? A butterfly bush.

It all looks wonderful. Does the garden start blooming like this every spring? Looks like a nice place to put a bench,

The perennials start blooming first and come up at different times. I fill in the empty spaces with annuals once they grow enough. I have sooooo many seeds that I should open a gardening center. This photo was taken sometime during the summer.
I do have two benches.

That is really lovely Dianne
If I said I loved your Cleome, you might think I was being rude...
