Mystery Flower Seeds

Tweet

Back on a rainy day in February during my mother's visit we made a trip to the dollar store and encountered this cute metal planter and some boxes of assorted flower seeds. Since I wanted some flowers for the back of my apartment, it was too good a deal to pass up though I was a little skeptical as I had bought a similar box of seeds years ago and never managed to get a single plant to grow from them let alone flower. Giving it another shot, I was surprised a little while later to see little green sprouts working their way up from the soil. Maybe I just had a bad box when it came to my first experience? Maybe the conditions weren't good enough? I certainly love my flowers but I don't consider myself a great or experienced gardener. I was excited to see that something was growing this time and could only guess what kind of flowers I would be getting from the box. Months passed. The plants inside the planter became taller and stronger but still had no flowers. I was starting to wonder if they would ever produce any when I peeked out the window yesterday morning to find a splash of blue among the green. Hopefully it is the first flower of many more to come. I wonder what I will be seeing from the other plants in there.
