I believe a "woo-hoo!" is in order. The wildflower Garden on a Whim that I planted in late June, has come into bloom. Here's the overview:
The garden is a bit lop-sided because one side gets more sunlight than the other, but I guess that just adds to the informal cottage garden look I love.
I can only identify some of the flowers, but here's the listing from the seed packets: baby’s breath, cornflower, flax, coreopsis, larkspur, poppies, black-eyed Susans, shasta daisy, cosmos, forget-me-nots, marigolds, zinnias, sweet alyssum, asters, sweet william, coneflowers, candytuft, and foxgloves.

Delightful flowers, all. If you can add an ID, please do so in the comments. I'd be grateful!
Hi,
My first visit here. I am interested in your wild flowers... from seed. I planted a bag of wildflower seeds last fall and this year quite a few came up. Mine are in a shady wooded location. They say that it will be sort of a messy garden the first year and not to cut it down until the flowers have gone to seed. I am getting ready to cut it down now. All in all, I was very happy with what came up.
I believe that your first blue flower is a corn flower. We used to call them Bachelor's Buttons. I enjoyed my visit here and will come back.
