In the spring the plant is green with golden flowers and by the summertime the flowers fade and you see these glassine leaves with the seeds inside. To be honest it wasn’t until I zoomed in with my camera this year that I noticed the seeds. I think various creatures are enjoying them but I might save a few seeds this year.

Echinacea grows in three different spots in the yard. The bunnies mowed down one patch but have not touched the other two as far as I can tell. Finicky eaters!

Flowers and herbs, real and faux. Just playing around with colors and textures and even scents (that’s Thai basil in front) to make a little spot of joy. Since this photo was taken the echinacea flowers have become seeds in a bag and a small bowl of blood oranges sits next to the faux orange flowers. Amazingly the Thai basil still looks the same. And when I lifted it just now I realized that the stems had grown roots. A certain fellow in this household has an upcoming planting project as soon as I find the right pot.

A second attempt to grow borage. Nestled next to the tomato plants. Let’s see if it improves the flavor of the fruits.

… there are a number of plants that will soon need to be returned to the outside. They seemed to have enjoyed their winter stay.
In fact they thrived so well that I think I may need to hire the neighbor’s teenager to carry these down the stairs. They’re all a bit bigger than when I brought them indoors.
And I can’t help but think once they’re back outside what shall I place in the “empty” spaces left behind. Ah, what a wonderful problem. 🙂

… didn’t make it but the other plants brought in for the winter appear to be doing fine. A lovely sight and scent when the sun heats the basil.
