  1. Gorgeous photos of the sunrise Nan. I watched ours this morning, but when I decided to take a photo and fetched my camera it had faded too much to bother. It changes really fast, doesn’t it?

    Thanks, Kerri. It was just coloring up (as in the first two photos) when I got back from my walk with Mom, and by the time I finished feeding Duncan and Daniel, the color was pretty much gone (as in the last photo). But still, it was a beautiful day!

  3. Wordless indeed! Who could find any words to add one iota to those amazing pictures???

    Thank you, Carol. Technically, it’s supposed to be “Wordless Wednesday.” But the sunrise wasn’t interesting then!

  4. Those shots are fantastic! They would be good material for prints!

    Many thanks, Dave!

  6. Fantastic sunrise!

    Thanks, Marie! Considering your own beautiful photography, that means a lot!

Smooth purple coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) is considered to be a federally endangered species. Several years ago, I received a gift of seeds from a mystery donor and have been enjoying it in my garden ever since. The plant-to-plant variation is really interesting—different color intensity and petal widths, for example—but all show the typical drooping petals and smooth leaves and stems. It has been flowering for a good 3 weeks already, while E. purpurea is just starting to flower. Easy from winter-sown seed. I’ve had it germinate in warm conditions too, without any chilling, but at a lower germination percentage. Lovely as a single plant in the garden and gorgeous in groups! It hates soggy soil but has been adaptable otherwise. #echinacealaevigata #smoothpurpleconeflower #endangeredplants #nativeperennials #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Large-flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora): perfectly peachy, with blue pollen as a perfect finishing touch. It’s an annual native to western North America, flowering here in PA from mid or late May to mid or late June, at around 3 feet tall. #collomiagrandiflora #largefloweredcollomia #nativeannuals #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Another annual native to California that adapts easily to life elsewhere, including here in PA: Farnsworth’s jewel flower (Streptanthus farnsworthianus). The small flowers are cute by themselves, but against those purple bracts—just wow. I started the seeds indoors in early March and set out the seedlings in April; the best show is from late May to late June. #streptanthusfarnsworthianus #farnsworthsjewelflower #annualflowers #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Calico monkeyflower (Diplacus pictus): a California native that has been perfectly happy here in Pennsylvania. Reaching just about 6 inches tall, this cute annual started blooming in early May and is still looking good a month later. #diplacuspictus #calicomonkeyflower #annualflowers #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
