So I don\'t know if my one annual mum is blooming or if it survived so I have to check. I do have asters. The tartarian aster is in bud but the volunteer asters are starting to bloom. There is another weed for you.
And speaking of weeds, the yellow hyssop likes to spread as much as it can. Another foolish seed trade. I guess I like the velvety green candles so I never completely eradicate it.
Then there is tropical milkweed that after growing a few years started to reseed itself. At first, it never returned. Now it starts itself and blooms on time which I like. And it was a jackpot year for monarchs finally.
I picked up some white turtlehead - Chelone glabra which is suppose to attract the azure butterfly. We\'ll see. I saw some mature plants at the Highline in NYC yesterday and it wasn\'t as nice at \'Hot Lips\' but that isn\'t suppose to be a host.
