My Wildflower Garden May 23, 2015

 Above and below, this is wild bee balm just beginning to turn lavender.  It doesn't get dark purple like domesticated varieties, but it is quite pretty.  And it is a good reseeder.

Above, I threw bunches of Ox Eye daisy seed heads into the wild garden hoping I would get some new plants.  Ox Eyes are perennials, so they would be a good addition to the garden.  This year I had some verbena bonariensis spring up as well as some Laura Bush Petunias, poppies, wild carrot, phlox, and blue bonnets.  It will take some time, but it will be very charming some day,
