What are your summer flowers blooming?

I know Fedco and Prairie Moon carry it. Or, I can try to save some seed for you!

Rareseeds/Baker Creek is not my first choice, but they’ll do. Prairie Moon is nice for this sort of thing because they try to maintain high genetic diversity, and they go the extra mile to give you the info you need to succeed (including being upfront with items that are very difficult to germinate). Fedco I like because they’re local to @mamuang and I, and they also are much better at giving good growing info than Baker Creek.

Very pretty. Does it has fragrance? I love fragrance of ginger flowers.
Your plant is in the same family, isn’t it?.

Jasmine and gardenia are great smellers… mexican tuberose is also excellent.

Pond plants are still producing as they have all summer. These are hardy. I think i have white/yellow/pink types in there.

Curcuma is Tumeric

Curcuma longa is turmeric. There are many curcumas. This nursery has a nice selection of ornamental gingers

The red one has stamens that are golden, not yellow, very pretty against deep red petals.
