    I'm not sure where I got them--but I'll guess from seeds. I don't remember buying Forget-Me-Nots. This is a very pink year--I've never had this many before, which is why I wanted them to go to seed.

    The fabric photos don't look nearly as nice as the photos on the screen. :wink:

    Your flowers are lovely as is your quilts. I often get ideas for colors to use in quilts from flower beds. Some of the newer orange flowers are so brilliant and cheerful. Have a beautiful day.

    Love all your pictures!

    And finally we are in sync! Our forget-me-nots are blooming too!! My husband go all excited when he saw the pinks ones. He had never seen pink ones before. I planted some pink ones about ten years ago and very sporadically the pink ones bloom. They are supposed to be biennial but I think some seeds are dormant for as much three or four years.

    That would explain it!! I planted some bulbs years and years ago--wood hyacinths--and they started blooming again alst year, after years off. Weird!

    The forget-me-nots are still blooming, so I planted around then as well as I could.
    Beautiful! You have a fantastic green thumb. Even the dirt has a rich color. Hope you have lots of time to just enjoy the gardens. I didn't see lawn chairs, etc. So go sit somewhere and smell the hard work you all put in on these gardens. Thanks for sharing.
