It's been a very dry spring - so, ok, there may be nothing intrinsically disappointing about this flower, but it doesn't have very many others to keep it company. In part, this is because the yard-mowers came at just the wrong time last year to make our back yard fit for fire-regulation inspection - right for the inspection, that is, but leaving deplorably little opportunity for self-seeding. So last year's bumper bloom hasn't been replicated, despite my having sown a whole lot more seeds this year. Maybe they'll germinate in some future damp spring. Meanwhile, when we head back to New Mexico in a few more weeks, I'll try again - I have packets and packets of optimistic sunflower seeds, as well as morning glories ...
