Beautiful shots!

I have the yellow variety of strawflower you pictured this year and it is my first time growing them. Where do you get your plants from or do you start them from seeds? I would love to find pink ones next year.

I got these from Franks by Pennock. I also helped a friend in his greenhouse and have several that are just starting to bloom. Hope to show them to you next week!

My grandma used to grow strawflowers. Your are so beautiful! I think I will have to try them one year. Thanks for visiting me today. Karen

Fun pics, I've never grown strawflowers, and I like your reason for starting this blog! I intended to start a gardening journal when I moved in 12 years ago, intended...

Hi Bonnie,
I enjoyed seeing your strawflowers and scrolling down to see your other posts. When I got to the tour, I wondered how the beds look now. It looked like there was lisianthus about to bloom. When you get a chance, please give us another tour.
