    1. Thank you! I take many hoping one will turn out! Just an old iPhone. Old, as in 8.

  2. I'm surprised that that's what it's going to grow into. But everything must start somewhere, I suppose.

    1. That's right! It does impress me how big some annuals get in a short few months.

    1. It's one of my favorite calendula color, Pink Surprise. Not as pink as I'd hoped.

    1. I try to find seeds for more pink varieties, if the cost isn't too much. That isn't as pink as advertised, but different from the usual Pacific Beauty oranges and yellows.

    1. That's one of the best! I winter sow the fancy seeds, the others self-sow.

  7. I grew this flower for the first time last year and didn't realize that it only bloomed at the beginning of the month hence its name coming from "Calendar." I will be growing this again this year, it is so beautiful and a lovely addition to our homestead.

    1. I have never heard that. Normally they bloom all month, all year long. Some overwinter in zone 8b, but they self-seed if they don't.
