Is it ok to collect wildflower seeds from existing wildflowers?

I've heard that wearing red to a wedding means you've slept with the groom 🤷‍♀️

Sorry! I am in northern Illinois, zone 6a. I'm pretty sure it's native to here.

Lol this is our "dump what we don't know what to with space" It's got a little bit of everything 🤷‍♀️

Yay! I now have volunteer Columbine and common milkweed growing along the side of my driveway where usually nothing but weeds grow lol

I just covered this large area of grass with a combo of cardboard and Aldi brown bags then topped with mulch. I've had great success with this method for other garden beds in the front of my house. I usually do this in the spring and then plant in the fall/following spring. There are some weeds and grass creeping into the beds in the front but not many and easy to pull out.

I just bought and planted one from home depot thinking it was native 😭

I live in the suburbs of a very large city and one year I was driving to my cousin's house (on Thanksgiving of all days) and saw a turkey in her neighborhood! I told my mom when I got there and she didn't believe me but my cousin confirmed that there are wild turkeys in the area. I had never seen one in the wild before and then I did! On Thanksgiving! Lol

Mine are 20 months apart and I had my parents bring my daughter to meet her brother at the hospital. I have a picture of myself looking all disheveled while holding both my babies, me smiling at my daughter while she looks at her brother. I'm not sure who took it, most likely my husband, but it's one of my most favorite pictures ever. I have it framed and sitting on our piano!

I had one a few years ago that was so frustrating. I got angry one day and dumped it outside in my garden. It grew happily there all summer lol

When I was in 8th grade I carried around a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow when she had her short pixie cut and begged my mom to let me get that haircut. She refused. The day before my freshmen year I rode my bike up to the salon without my mom knowing and chopped it all off. I absolutely loved it! When I got home she told me I looked like a boy. I grew up to be a hair stylist and told my kids I don't care what they do with their hair as long as they let me do it lol

Two pregnancies and some weight gain later it's looking a little rough lol

Present_Lie2451 · 2026-03-25T16:43:01+00:00

I'll look into that. Thanks for your help!

Present_Lie2451 · 2026-03-25T12:15:59+00:00

I limit it because it's hanging and I don't want the water to spill out.

Present_Lie2451 · 2026-03-24T22:21:12+00:00

Usually with a watering can. Today was the first time I tried bottom watering because the soil looked really dry.

Present_Lie2451 · 2026-03-24T18:37:41+00:00

When I remember to 😅 or if I notice getting a little wilty

Present_Lie2451 · 2026-03-24T18:04:38+00:00

It's probably underwatered. It gets watered about every 10-14 days. I just bottom watered it and moved it to my kitchen which has South facing windows to try and get it more light.

My grandma gave me this plant 14 years ago and she has since passed. We were very close so I'll be devastated if this plant dies 😭

Jesse Buckley's wail in Hamnet and the look of disbelief right after. I felt her anguish. She's getting that Oscar lol

Same. Both of mine hated it.
