Stokes blue aster This is the first time my garden has had this many blooming plants at one time since I began planting two years ago - hoorah! Almost all of the plants in the Dirt Patch were started as seeds or cuttings - lots of work and waiting finally paying off. And all with what I contend is some of the worst soil in the world ;) Echinacea Sunflower Dianthus African iris Besides these, the marigolds, Hawaiian blue eyes, a peachy-colored black-eyed Susan vine, day lilies, browallia, Mexican petunia, and blue bedder are all blooming as well. Still waiting on those ground orchids...
I make mini lino block prints, watercolors, and ink drawings mostly featuring cats, insects, reptiles, and amphibians...tiny art and life!
