Flowers in the House

Jane is hosting the first anniversary of Flowers in the House.

I have a jug of Rhodanthe manglesii 'Timeless Rose' grown from seed last summer.

 
They were easy to grow and the slugs weren't interested. Even in the garden the flowers feel papery. I grew them next to the path and cut far more than I expected. I think I had about 8 plants.


I dried them in the garage along with Alchemilla mollis, Poppy and Nigella seed heads and Mint.

  1. From a distance, Virginia to be exact, you would think these were fresh flowers.

    Pretty sweet that you grew/dried them yourself.

    Thanks for joining in.

  6. Nice post!
    There are not many small gardens, and even less blogs about them.

    Here a couple of links to my own in the Caribbean.
