On to the Next Thing!
Hope you all had a great holiday. So, it is a couple days after Christmas and the days are getting longer so that means that spring is coming! So, I've already made my first pass through the Park Seed catalog. I just picked flowers based on if they caught my eye. I'll have to narrow the list down based on cost and if I think they will do OK.

Belles of Ireland
Petunia Dolcissima - Flambe - Proven over two seasons. Love the colors!
Tall Sunflower - Moonshadow - Love the off-white color
Zinnia - Envy - Still love these!
Tall Sunflower - Italian White - Again, love the off-white shade.
Yarrow - Summer Berries
Verbascum - Southern Charm - This one didn't work the first time I tried it but now with our seed-starting setup, I'm hoping it will.
Snapdragon - Terracotta Mix
Snapdragon - Chantilly Deep Orange
Phlox - Promise Peach
Poppy - Blue Himalayan
Purslane - Hot Mix
Poppy - Falling in Love
Petunia - Dolcissmima Fragolino - If I'm going to have petunia's, it's going to be these. I've had success with them two years in a row.
Petunia - Horizon Yellow - I'm going to try a new shade of yellow
Pansy - Pandora's Box - Love these colors!!
Linaria - Enchantment - Last year's success - love the color
Lupine - Sunrise
Delosperma - Stardust - We lost a lot of these last year because we put them out too early. I want to grow some more for ground cover.
Blue Knoll Chrysanthemum - This is one I tried the first time I ever grew from seed. It didn't work at all but now with our seed starter setup, I'm hoping it will.
Gomphrena - Strawberry Fields - These were from last year and grew beautifully! I typically don't like red flowers but this one I do like.
Foxglove - Yellow
Gomphrena - All Around Purple - Since strawberry fields worked so well last year, I thought I'd try purple.
Foxglove - Foxy
Coneflower - Magnus
Coneflower - White Swan
Catmint - Blue Carpet
Coneflower - Bravado - Tried this one the first time I ever grew from seed but it didn't do well. I'm hoping with our new seed starting process, that these will make it this time.
Butterfly Bush - DavidII Mix - Wouldn't mind attracting some butterflies around the house!
Osteospermum Asti - White - Love the purple center
