Princess Feather Update

[lakngulf]

Each year I have volunteer Princess Feather flowers in my garden. They came from seed my son and family gave me one year--supposedly these are some flowers grown at time of Thomas Jefferson (son and family lived in Charlottesville at the time). Well, I normally let them grow where they start. This year they are part of the okra row

It will look like a flower garden when the okra starts to bloom their hibiscus like flowers.

Pretty. I have never heard of or seen it before.

This will give you a better idea how it fits into the okra row

Love it. Flowers make your garden happy. They also bring in the good bugs. There is always room for flowers in my garden.

Thanks. I needed that post. Today, I looked carefully at those two Princess Feather plants. They are huge and healthy. My thought was "they are taking up a lot of room, and nutrients". But, in the end, I go back to my plan from year to year. Sort of like they have a spot in the garden and they get to choose.
