Every day in the yard is a GOOD day

Here is another flower I found growing in my yard. Ideas? Thank you

P.S. - I'm seeing lots of ladybugs this year - is anyone else?

Maybe perennial carnations. They look like mine but I'm still sleepy.

It does look like Sweet William. A voracious reseeder but easily pulled if it gets out of hand.

I'll have to get some! I'd love something that pretty that would re-seed.

If I can figure out how to get seeds I can send you some. Terri

These are biennials, so they'll flower the second year. Some have a lovely clove scent.

Absolutely! I have yet to figure out how to save certain conversations so I will write your name down and contact you soon. Some of the flowers are already fading so I would think seeds are quick to follow. Terri

P.S. I will tree mail.my e-mail address to you.

@IJsbrandtGA, probably not a good idea to post your email publically, any time you put an email address on to a publicly accessible web page it will in all likelihood cause you to start getting lots of spam emails.

It's best to go to private 'tree-mail'.
