Forgot that I took a Melaleuca photo yesterday 🥰

More flowers from a few weeks ago - dahlias, Ginger Willo, GGs Ruby Tuesday and Small World. I went back through my stalk pile out back and found a few more seed pods I'd missed the first time through. All but two dahlias are put away for the season- still hoping for two more blooms to make sure they are the right thing before I label and put them away. #gardening #bloomscrolling

Not the flashiest thing, but this is the first flower I’ve seen open on Linaria aeruginea! Commonly called Roadside Toadflax, this Iberian native is supposedly a cold-hardy perennial so it’ll be finding a planting spot outside next spring, and develops little clumps of stems sporting slender leaves and topped in snapdragon-like flowers. This purple/yellow form is a fairly common color, but the species can come in a vast range of patterns and expressions from white to yellow to red and blotched with brown, yellow, orange, pink, or various other hues. As I have multiple plants from multiple seed origins, there will likely be a big variation once they’re all settled and blooming, and with any luck my fourth attempt at getting their relative Alpine Toadflax to sprout and grow will succeed this time, adding to the variety.

Back out east and to Longwood Gardens where my mom does some volunteer gardening. Jacket to match!
