Gardening Georgia O'Keefe Style

We bought this Sacred Datura up at Theodore Payne.

The  overall plant is not very big, but every other night or so, it puts out a single bloom that lasts a day.  Given the plant's size, I'm really surprised at the number of flowers it's produced.

They are supposed to smell amazing, but the scent is so faint from a single bloom that I can't say for sure that is true.

Rob says he can't wait to see what kind of insect pollinates these.

Carrot Top

I let a carrot go too long in the garden and it started to get really tall.

Curious, I let it keep going and now I have these beautiful white flowers.  Who knew?

Seeded

This is broccoli gone to seed and below is my red romaine lettuce.

The broccoli bolted pretty quickly.  It never headed up properly, possibly because I never fertilized it the way I was supposed to.

Oh well, at least it looks pretty.

Remember the Phoenix Rose?

Phoenix is thriving. I think we might actually get blooms next year.

The poppies are also going gang-busters. Kind of weird since it's November and they normally grow in the spring...
