Some flowers have funny names...gomphrena..who came up with that one??? I like to call it globe amaranth...either name is right.....and this one. strawberry fields is one of my favorite flowers...yes, I know..I say that all the time! well, maybe they ALL are my favorite at the time I say it.....Taken this morning. it is not a very prolific plant but the flowers dry really well and hold their color. and another thing about this color is..it is NEVER true to the red color it is supposed to be....I had red ones one time, I think...
But, as a true gardener, I grow it year after year...loving it...
The watcher....BO...he is guarding me fiercely.....love my boy......
Second day in a row that it has not rained all day long...feeling hopeful..okra, eggplant, peas,cucumbers, and jalapenos might have a fighting chance now....sounds like a Cajun garden....know where I can buy some tomatoes?
