a shaded, clay bank, in the middle of a vinca minor patch. I also found a
seedling of a wax begonia in the front garden which has to have come from a
pot I had nearby last year. And a coleus seedling from last year's plants
out in one of the beds. These both emerged just recently. >>
Apologies here from me, I have been a bit crazy in the last ten days. NYC
was my hometown. I mixed you with Bob Campbell, another garden good guy from
our list. He is the zone 4 friend.
Even here in the miserable winters and ground frozen stiff a couple of feet,
I also see a tropical seedling once in while and also usually late in the
season. I shall ship you a huge package of lunaria. We cleaned the plants
for a bazaar and gave them away for whatever they chose to do with them.
That resulted in all that seed. We did the same thing last fall. Then I
threw the seed all over a shrubbery which resulted in millions of plants.
The 2-year olds bloomed in great drifts this spring and I was obliged to pull
some out as there were just too many. They bloom quite early. Learn to
recognize the seedling and leave patches of them. Imagine pulling out
beaitiful spring flowers, you will have success with excess seeding. Not all
of them become pollinated, I suppose.
I am mailing off seed to promises tomorrow morning, all.
