if obsessing about flowers is wrong..then i am very bad!! i live in zone 5..i have a 45x 80 deer fenced garden..its about to be its third year.. 90% flowers.. though this year i am going to expand with some raised beds for veggies..before i kept the veggies to the green house with basil and all types of tomatoes, lots of greens, various peppers, some brocolli and cellery..though this garden is young you would be surprised at how packed it is with perrenials and annuals..when i figure out how to resize pictures, i will post some..

Re: What flower is this?

it really only comes back by the seed and i believe it is a wild flower of some sort..i think it is a gem..but the name escapes me.
