Love the light blue color the Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) have.
The summer has not been the best possible for them even though they are easy to grow. This plant grows best in loose, organically rich, well-drained acidic soil in full sun to part shade.
The garden pollinators also love this flower
The Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) started blooming a bit later this year because of the cold spring.
Bees and butterflies love the flowers and during a sunny day there is a constant buzzing going on.
One of the most reliable annuals I grow and starts blooming early, usually around the midsummer up here in the north.
Baby Blue Eyes started late this year but are now ready to bloom.
I think that week from now and their show will be reaching the highest peak.
Unless the mold I have terrorizing the flower bed decides otherwise.
Beaten by the heavy summer rains but still blooming nicely. Baby blue eyes is very reliable and one of the early bloomers when it comes to the annuals.
It seem that some of the seeds made it through the winter since I have flowers growing in places I did not expect.
Simply adore the color blue the blooms have. Like the summer sky at its best.
Each year it is fun try something new. You never know how the new comers will do and how they will turn out to be.
This year I sowed some Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila Menziesii) seeds. I just saw them on a web site and decided to give them a try. Originally my idea was to grow them in a terrarium but ended up planting them outside.
I got lucky. My babies started to bloom in the beginning of July. The summer has been cool but they did not seem to mind.
The flowers themselves are small but the color is so beautiful and blooms many.
I guess I need to buy these seeds for the next summer as well.
PS. Bought the seeds from http://www.seedaholic.com. Just love the name of the site.
