Harry & David Garden: Blanket Flower

Harry & David Garden: Blanket Flower
(By the way, the new 10-Week Photo Projects has begun--as of January 5--and it's all about TREES! Please feel free to join in the fun! 10-Week Photo Projects: Trees)

Some months ago, Steve and I visited the gardens of a local company, Harry & David, and they have an incredible rose and flower garden. I got zillions of pictures and would like to post a few as I find the time to do so...

This is a Blanket Flower. These incredibly gorgeous blossoms are, if you can believe it, WILDFLOWERS. Once these perennial beauties are established in your garden, they will grow with little care, as they are hardy and drought-resistant. I love them, and would love them in my garden!! Sadly, the seeds that I planted did not sprout, so I'll have to try again this year. For now, behold the majesty of the Blanket Flower, photographed at the Harry & David Gardens.

Explored on January 19, 2015. Highest placement, #7.

Oh I love the look of this - I'd love this in my garden. I don't have any that colour, apart from nasturtiums. This is a brilliant photo Janet.
