What sweet, happy little faces on the nemesias.
In a way, it is Friday; we seem to start the next day at sundown here on FR.
You really have to get these for the garden, if you can.

The flower is tiny, the size of your thumbnail. They are precious.

There are these little flowers I remember when I was a little girl and Mama called them “johnny jump-ups” and they look like small pansies and grew wild, sometimes in the grass. Meg may know what these are that I am talking about. Do you know, Dita?

They do sometimes grow wild and can also be cultivated.

Tinkerbelles... that’s a good name for this little thumbnail-sized flower, a perfect perch for Tinkerbell herself:)!!

Yes......and the only color we ever had were the violet color with a tad of yellow. I love remembering the things that always made me happy when I was young. (I am living in my own little fairy tale for this thread..lol..)

Excuses, oh yeah, I’m good at those;^) Anytime, MEG:)
The red and white nemesias are stunning and unusual.
Is the last johnny pic the wild one?

P.S. We are having a rain and wind storm out, so prayers for the hummer family would be appreciated...*sigh*
