Here are some of the seedlings I started during the winter.
Rudbeckias. I think this group is Gloriosa Daisy. Behind them are a Coreopsis and a Ratibida. They all look like weeds now.
Gallardias. There is variation in vigor and leaf shape. I don't know why.
Echinacea
Bloodflower Milkweed and some poppies.
Oregano
The poppies grew from saved seeds that I just scattered in lots of places. Some didn't. Poppies are annual but can self seed so thickly they crowd out some weeds. The native milkweeds all died or were eaten. The tropical, annual milkweeds (bloodflower) so far look pretty good. I thought frost killed the oregano, but now it's growing great. The echinaceas kind of lagged behind the others and vanished, but now are growing nicely. The rudbeckias seem to be the most vigorous. Most of the coreopsis is growing nicely too.
So far, so good. I don't expect them all to bloom this year, but some might. The annuals (poppies and bloodflower) should bloom mid to late summer or fall.
