You asked for it, areyoukittenme ! It was turned with its face to the wall, so I turned it around. It may turn back, but it makes me really happy to look at it now.    |

This is the Eden Brothers Dwarf Petunias Mix (to 14" tall) that went outdoors into a pot some time ago.   The Dianthus is from the November GAL. Who'd've expected that they'd still be blooming in May? I'm going to plant a Dianthus garden soon, to provide flowers for these flowerboxes. Dianthus loves the shade-and-full sun location!  |

I wish I had an outdoor spot to move my petunias to. I'm ready for something else in my living room.

There will be a collage of the sunflower "filling in" the center. This is where it is today.   |

Day 80 (6/7/22) Once the center filled in, the petals crumpled, but I still like it!  |

It's doing just what it's supposed to do, and I think that's beautiful!  |

Very cool. Are you going to keep any of the seeds

I hadn't even thought about keeping the seeds, because I have more in the seed packet. I will want to grow more of these, because they stop growing taller at 16", and display nicely in an AG. I have thought about eating the seeds. Do all varieties and hybrids of sunflowers produce edible seeds? |

I would at least try them.  |

I got curious and Googled it lol - results all seemed to agree that there are no poisonous varieties of sunflower. Another interesting tidbit was that all parts of them are edible in addition to the seeds - the flower head, leaves, etc. And now I’m super curious about what they taste like!!
