Larkspur, with Achillea millefolium.


Gaillardia pulchella, Indian Blanket.


Snow-in-Summer.


Adenophora 'Amethyst', Ladybells. I love this plant and find it quite adaptable. It can bloom in tall spikes, or on tiny stems in my lawn.

I would love to have a cutting of this. Did you grow it in soiless basket like orchid? I love the color of the flower.

Sorry for the picture quality but they wouldn’t let me get closer. Pair of Goldfinches on Coneflowers this morning.

I’ll look to see if it has a segment to break off. If not I know my other variety has one. I like its flowers more. Shown below.
They are growing in orchid bark in a vanda basket. They take up a lot of real estate if you use a conventional pot. Hanging makes it manageable. I’ll DM you.
