Oh, PM, that squash is looking GOOOOOD! Yum! My caterpillars were gone yesterday. I hope they’ve made chrysalises and weren’t eaten.

I have some wintersow first-year bloomers. Heliopsis, which isn’t always an easy seed to find, is blooming and just germinated this spring. What a wonderful surprise! This is Burning Hearts. The foliage is darker than the standard Heliopsis, too.

This is one single flower of Heliopsis Summer Nights. It is straight yellow. The flower below it is NOT Helpiosis Burning Hearts, but Rudbeckia Orange Fudge. They look so similar, but Heliopsis has a more delicate coloring. Also photo-bombing is echinacea.

I’ve got Coreopsis Sunburst about to bloom it’s first year. Will post those when they open.
