And these are some of the seeds I have on hand to plant. First, Armenian Basket Flower, also known as Yellow Knapweed:

 Asters, New York Mix. I know just where to plant these because the wild blue New York Asters grow like crazy here:

 Chives. I used to grow these at a former farm and loved them, both for flavoring and for their flowers:

 Gaillardia or Blanket Flowers, Arizona Apricot:

 Gaillardia or Blanket Flowers, Arizona Sunset:

 Gaillardia or Blanket Flowers , Red Shades:

 Globe Thistle, Blue Glow. Alas, I've already tried three times to grow Globe Thistles - but I saw the seeds for sale and decided to try once more:

 These are Rose Mallow seed pods from my own plants. I intend to try getting the seeds to grow:

 Morning Glory, Carnivale Di Venezi:

 Oriental Poppy, mixed colors. My mother used to have a few of these and I would like to have a few also, with which to remember her:

And I've ordered four varieties of Sunflower, all of them quick growing and good for cut flowers:

Pastiche:

Red Wave:

Cherry Rose:
