Sunshine Sunflower

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 09:46:50 -0500

The sunshine sunflower is one of the 10 varieties I grew this year. I ordered a whole variety package from SeedsofChange.com, and all but the mexican variety came up strong.

Red Hopi Amaranth

This type of amaranth was used by the Hopi Indian tribe as a red dye. I feel they provide a nice contrast to all of the greens in my garden.
