ReplyDeleteHey julie... these seeds came off the plant that's been growing in the yard for the past few years... if you click on the link at the bottom of the post, you'll see some of it's pink blooms... lucky I saved the seeds, as our extremely wet winter has evidently ruined one of the Heads.

ReplyDeleteGreat start! Hope you show the progress over time.
