Growing Cotton…

Can’t believe I’ve never tried growing cotton, this is a wonderful plant!!

The flower opens a creamy white

Then turns this gorgeous pink, falls off and I guess starts producing the seed inside the cotton.  Free cotton balls for me, I’ll post a picture when it’s ready and I will grow the cotton plant again!!!

Another favorite is my buttercrunch lettuce as it goes to seed, I love these little flowers, and yes they do reseed themselves.

With the perennial geranium in the background ~ so pretty.
