Flower #2


Phacelia, or California bluebell. This was the first flower I ever grew, in 2009, as part of a "wildflower mix". It's fast and blue is my favourite colour, so of course this makes it one of my favourite flowers, but last year I didn't plant any, having misplaced the seed packets somewhere between Yellowknife and home. So I was hoping to get tons of them this year and that they'd reseed themselves, but it looks like the nemophilas are choking them out. Therefore, next year I will plant them separately.

One thing I like about gardening is, you can always try again.
