Thought you all might like to sign up for this free Wildflower Reference Guide. Looks like it could be helpful.

I received this earlier this year and am being very tempted to order some of their seed. They have different seed mixtures depending on where you live and you can also order individual seed packets of only the varieties you like.

It's a great catalog--even has my wine cup seeds, which I'll probably get despite my plans "not to plan too much". [Got plants Delight catalog today and they have wine-cup plants as well as my yellow Chinese banana [Golden Lotus Banana].

I have also wondered about the success of the wildflower mixtures, but am hesitant to just plunge in since I have no idea how our subdivision would react. Lawns aren't as important here as they were in KS where we were told we ruined the block because we didn't cut grass twice a week or more!! [I actually saw one woman on her hands and knees clipping grass with a pair of scissors.]

We were also told the whole block on that side of the street looked like a golf course--but the man forgot all about the 5 or 6 trees he had cut down since we had moved in. These same people came to beg some of my purple coneflower, bee balm, and Japanese iris [whatever the miniature purple ones are called.] Around here we aren't always able to cut grass each week but have no neighbor problems.

Has anyone with somewhat loose subdivision rules had any experience with adding an area of wildflowrs?

Thanks.
Ann

Thanks, Lynne. I needed that catalog. I am always finding some kind of flower that I don't know.

Hi again, Cool Joe!
I've just ordered for myself the 'Richter's Herbs' Catalogue. It's not exactly wildflowers, but it certainly has a huge selection of exotic and interesting plants/seeds on offer.
It is also a really good read, as it gives information on each plant.
I've been ordering it for years, just to read!
I might even order something this year...I have REALLY BIG plans! flw
