I know this is not an ID forum but ... anyone know this flower.
Came up in a wintersown jug marked as white malva I know that is wrong. Must have been a seed that accidentally got in the pack.

Wish I did... so cute!!!

I have a friend who has planted a little garden in astonishingly rich soil. Many of her plants came from me, and she grew some
annuals. I go there and see what plants should really look like.

I still cannot tell for sure if the foxglove proliferations are taking off. This afternoon I took some pink from Foxy. I will plant them tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed that this works. I just love
propagation now. With the foxglove it will mean never having to start them again. This was my third summer so I may get some self sown ones too. I took the branches and laid them on the ground where I would like them to come up. I did the same thing with the tall verbascum, but I used scissors to cut off about 2" for each seeding area and placed them on roughed up ground.

Geum is something I haven't tried, but alas at this point I have no room. I need to get my neighbor to plow up another spot.
After I winter sow, I will be crazy about where to put the new plants.

Cinda, I know I've seen pics posted of that flower, just can't recall what it was. I'll keep my eyes open and see if I can run across it again.

Cinda... that is very pretty, what ever it is.

I keep thinking the name starts with "schiz.." or something like that?

I too think it is pretty ..I am guessing annual , but not like anything I have grown before. Plan on trying to save some seed.
The photo shows the flower just a bit larger than life size and the whole plant is about 10 inches tall.
It is always fun to have a mystery plant that is pretty

I tried to Google with schiz and flower and found tons of sights of how to treat schizophrenia with fresh flowers weird

The pictures are very nice I hope to get some seeds from this one and get a whole pot full next year .

Neal, did the ''weed'' Helenium you have ever bloom?
Here is the tall one of mine just starting.
The short one has been in bloom for more than a month now.
I wonder if that is normal to have such different bloom times?

No blooms yet, and now there's one I left that is looking more like a goldenrod than Helenium. I started them from seed last year and they had a few blooms late in the season, but I'm not sure when they'll bloom once established. Hmmm...its still entirely possible that I yanked them up!

Hey, Neal. Just dropped in to congratulate you on being Today's Featured Cubit. This place is looking wonderful. I actually found it last week on the Magic Random Cubit Ride, but didn't have time to post. You've really done a great job.

Thanks, Stormy! What a pleasant surprise!

Agreed! You've done a mighty fine job here, Neal....Thanks for noting it, Stormy.

Congrats Neal, well deserved. You have a wonderful cubit here!

This IS a great cubit,the subject covers so many aspects of a garden.

It is fun to see how many different plants are used.

Thanks everyone! I still need a good banner pic- that's really bugging me, LOL.

Thanks to Kelly (klstuart) we now have a fabulous new banner! Kelly, I love that you included the rhubarb leaves on the left- that incorporation of an edible plant is perfect
