Larkspur blooms

If you remember my plogs from last year you will remember how I loved my larkspur flowers. I collected a great many of the seeds and kept them safely indoors over the winter. In early Spring, really it was winter time about mid January, I went out like Mother Nature sprinkling all the seeds plus a packet of larkspur seeds I had bought from Wild seed farms when we visited there in the Fall.
 
I tried to put them towards the back of my flower patches as I know now from experience they grow really tall. It seems they don't grow where you put them.
 By February I had feathery little green shoots springing  up and when I looked it wasn't exactly when I had thrown them either. It almost looked like grass the green shoots were so thick.

Then the late frosts came and I thought there go the larkspurs, they will get frozen in place but maybe a few will survive. I couldn't have been more wrong. They all continued to grow and grow even it seems, with out much water. Then we had a couple of heavy rains and they put extra effort into growing.

Now we have dense areas of beautiful purples and blue with the odd white and pink thrown in and they are all just beautiful.

It's a good job I really like them as I think they have crowded most everything else out in the beds.
I suspect the problem with the overcrowding was my fault as probably last years flowers had already partially seeded before I started collecting seeds and then I helped even more by adding to the area.

Who cares? Not I.
 
I love larkspur.
