This Centauria americana grew on its own in my field.
The second photo shows these flowers growing amidst wild yarrow.
Winter Post: My special focus in flowers for the 2006 season is vines. I have started many indoors already: Love
in a Puff, Cup 'n' Saucer, Hyacinth Bean, Passion Vine, Cypress (Hummingbird) Vine. Sprouts of Eryngium (Sea Holly)
are up--this is my first time growing those and many of the vines too. I will be growing over a dozen Morning Glory
types this year as well. Some Salvia has just sprouted--we enjoyed the hummingbirds so much last year that I will grow lots
of this!
