Morning in the Garden

This year, i have many, many sunflowers and i did NOT plant a one!!

AND this holly hock came up in my planter in the front

 Have not a clue as to the why... It is not even the right color!! On the side where the 'garden' is supposed to be they are all the dark purple color.  I have wanted one this color forever and have tried to plant from seed and little plant and nothing took, they all died or did not reseed. And then... here is this one!!! What a neat thing to happen.

I have sunflowers ALL over, there are really alot of them behind the pick-up, have not used or moved the pick up yet this year, so they are all doing fine, even have a couple of those purple holly hocks back there, and when i go to the dump, they will all get run over.... oh well, can enjoy until that time, then will have to pull everything out...

 Here are the dark holly hocks...
They really do get ratty looking, the leaves turn brown and get all bug eaten and frilly... but the flowers still bloom.  Oh, and they all fall over too, that is when i get disgusted with them and pull out.  BUT some of them are really thick stalks and deep, deep roots, even used an ax last year on one of them and that silly thing still came up this year, once again...

oooo, then there are the stargazers.. love, love, love them.... they do pretty good under my bedroom window out front, only get morning sun, face East... but they seem to migrate and never come up in the same place, pretty close but not the exact same

Then you get these which look like a faded stargazer and i never planted them, but they are certainly prolific when they finally bloom, there are 7 blooms on one stalk!!!

Do really love my flowers and that they come up year after year. I hardly planted anything new this year... and have loads of the yellow flowers below,  not sure of the name, but they REALLY reseed, get the seeds ALL over the place as with the poppies, which i did not get a pic of this time... well, they are really not too terribly pretty, early morning they bloom and normally only last a day, but there are SO many of them that there is always one blooming here and there..

The poppies REALLY get ratty looking... and i keep pulling them up, cutting them down and they just keep coming up, itty, bitty little seeds, i get those all over my feet when i water or cut them back, so i think that i track them all over too!

Take Care All and God Bless, have a sunshiny day!!
