The wildflowers are amazing at how hardy they are. I hope you do have a yard full of sunflowers – lucky you! I planted Forget-Me-Nots once. A couple of packets of seeds as fillers between some bushes for Spring color. I lost bushes (including three butterfly bushes) and all my perennials planted in 1985 in the first Polar Vortex in Winter 2013-2014, but those Forget-Me-Nots never faltered and keep coming up every year.

Sounds good, Wayne. Do these arrowleaf sunflowers grow in Tofino?

I’ve heard they aren’t native to wetter areas, like the west side of WA. And they grow wild. I’ve never seen half the wildflowers in Eastern Washington until we moved here.

Makes sense, too wet for them. I sure enjoy the free show every spring 🙂

Seeds are too tiny. But I read you can eat the whole plant–I’ll pass 🙂
