Thanks for reminding me to order flowers guys, I've been looking through catalogues a lot the past few days. I want to plant some flashy big ones, like hydrangeas and peonies. I was thinking of getting one good one of each, then just propagating more with those. I also like the saffron crocus, and will def order those too. You all have some inspiring flowers! My comfrey patch is massive now, and it just keeps blooming, and more and more of those big black bumblebees have shown up....so now they are everywhere in my backyard, and this is the best year I've had for elderberries getting pollinated and forming well. I think it's all because the comfrey brought the bees.
It's kind of hard to see the flowers hanging downward, but there are a lot of them. My plan was to have chopped this down already and used for compost or just mulching the surface with it, but I don't want to mess up the poor bees food source, so I'm just going to leave it.
