Comments (7)How funny! I too have a volunteer in one of my perennial beds. Like most of us, I didn't have the heart to tear him out and chose to "see what he does". Welllll, lets just say that "he" is one vigorous pumpkin I must say. My fear is that it is one of the mammoth varieties i had around a year ago for fall display. Right now he looks cool in there, but is quickly wearing out his welcome as he is growing about a foot a day and will soon develope a heavy driking problem as pumpkins are known to do. The fact that i already named Him a "him" means i am too attatched now to pull the plug and must pay the price. We gardeners are a curious bunch to say the least....See Morepack of seeds labeled 'Red Sun' what could the be?
Comments (14)Barbe, I did find the following information: "Legend of the Cherokee Rose. No better symbol exists of the pain and suffering of the Trail Where They Cried than the Cherokee Rose(pictured at top of page). The mothers of the Cherokee grieved so much that the chiefs prayed for a sign to lift the mother's spirits and give them strength to care for their children. From that day forward, a beautiful new flower, a rose, grew wherever a mother's tear fell to the ground. The rose is white, for the mother's tears. It has a gold center, for the gold taken from the Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem that represent the seven Cherokee clans that made the journey. To this day, the Cherokee Rose prospers along the route of the "Trail of Tears". The Cherokee Rose is now the official flower of the State of Georgia. " If your flower turns out to be a rose, this might be the source. The seed doesn't have a hole through the center, does it? (I love to research the web!)

Comments (4)LOL, I laugh cause I plan to do this when my neighbors seeds are ready. She has blue wild indigo and I so love that plant in or out of bloom. Also she has so many different daylillies if I figured they would be true I would hit her for those also. I started my process last week on the edge of asking. I got a wonderful set of seeds in a sase and I took her some of the seeds of this flower she was tickled pink. I was just tickled I had something she didnt have already, her gardens are wonderful she is my inspiration. I will catch her outside one day and I will say Mrs. Peggy (thats her first name) I absolutely loveeeee your blue wild indigo,(knowing her she probaly dont even know the name of it) would there be a chance that I could take some of the seeds so I may take a shot in growing my own. Knowing this little angel she will say well sure hun, but if you come back in spring I will just get you a clump. I love this woman I swear!! I will still get a few seeds and I always tell her I am coming back in spring but I never do. Its a shame all neighbors arent as great as Mrs. Peggy!! P.S The malva zebrina, Poppy Papaver laciniata, and the Pink hollyhock I have were started from seed from Mrs. Peggy's garden I think 2 or 3 years back....See MoreSeniorBalloon
