I love the "free for all" feeling your banner exudes. The colors radiate summer.

Sometimes the prettiest landscapes are the ones the plants design themselves. Smiling

Thank you all my friends! Smiling

Happy you enjoy the images of plants I get to
see everyday in person. Also happy to share the
seeds. Green Grin!

I let the nasturtiums go to seed in place, but take out
the whole coreopsis & put it upside down in a large
paper bag to dry out.
Just one coreopsis seed head will produce ~50 (haven't counted) more
plants. Hurray!

The nasturtiums are endemic in multiple places, but I encourage them
as they make a nice easy foliage & colorful blooms, and
create a synergy with everyone else, e.g. roses, coreopsis, alyssum, etc.

I'll be transplanting a small "jewel" variety into a pot today.

Have a great day everyone. Thumbs up
