Bone-headedness pays off.

Queen Ann's has always been one of my favorite flowers, wild or domestic. Whenever I see it by the wayside's I always stop to cut bunches.

But I've had problems trying to get it to grow in my garden. Saving the seeds from roadside cuttings never germinated. The plants always seem to grow on the busiest highways, not convenient for stopping to dig up roots. For years the seeds I found available from some suppliers were some wimpy variety, more like Baby's Breath. But last year I finally got some of the real stuff to sprout and grow. And this year the blooms are beautiful. It's also reseeding itself nicely and it's welcome to spread wherever it pleases.
