Those red brain flowers my grandma grew in her garden here in central Kansas! She called them Cockscomb! They resemble a roosters head! She’d save a head or two in fall, put them in a brown paper bag to store, then just shake the bags to release the seeds and sprinkle them all over her garden in the spring. They’d pop up all over her flower bed!!! This was a memory from my childhood and I’m now 73!
@@josweatt898 That's what we call them in the caribbean, and once you have in your garden they reseed themselves. I'm always finding cockscomb growing in random pots around the garden.
Laura can you photograph each arrangement you make this year and do a collage or a slideshow for us? I think it would be wonderful to see them all grouped together like that
I agree - even if you did a video of putting the arrangement together. I'd love to see at the end of the season a slideshow of each arrangement. It would be great inspiration prior to seed buying for cut flowers.
Would love to see that…She is definitely high energy and she finds time to do the things she loves and shares it! She gets so many requests and she is human, so I just enjoy whatever she shares😇
@@PuppyBiteforTrump I totally understand but I am a bean counter and a planner and I love sneak peeks into peoples organization habits. Always looking for new idea 🙂
You have a tremendous variety of flowers/plants. It’s going to be wonderful to see them all in bloom. The Butterfly Pea flower makes a delicious purple colored iced tea. People may look at you funny when you tell them you’re drinking Butterfly Pea. 😁🦋
Exciting!!!! I'm the only guy at work who gets excited about flowers and watching Laura/Garden Answer. This is "My Jam"! What a treasure trove of varieties you got there Laura. Thanks for sharing!
Love the channel! Thank you for what you do! Even though I'm in a different zone 4b here in North Eastern Ontario, Canada you provide me with a wealth of gardening expertise that applies. I've learned so much. I swear I've gone from a Jr novice to a Sr. Novice gardener in just a few years of watching ;-) Found you a few years ago as I didn't know what to do after having years of a successful full sun garden turn to shade with the growth of a birch tree. I was in a bit of a garden rut from loosing several perrienals. Once I fell into the Garden Answer rabbit hole you've inspired so many new garden projects in our yard. I now have a shade garden in the works to "perfection", a small 4 x4 veggie and herb garden, and this is the first year I'm starting seedlings for a new sun garden! All Garden Answer inspired! Years ago I had some Scabiosa and forgot what it was called. The garden centres in my area told me they were bachelor's buttons, but I knew that was so wrong. I couldn't seem to find them anywhere - maybe not common for my zone or something? Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me about Pincushion/Scabiosa. Just found a supplier who will ship them to me. So excited to see them back in my yard this year!!
When I was a kid on the farm (only about 15 miles from Laura outside of Nyssa, Oregon), my dad grew a whole field of asters. It was experimental as a seed crop and he only did it once. But that field was glorious and memorable amid the sugar beets, onions, and potatoes.
I brush my teeth and then sit down with a cup of tea and watch your videos to start my day - God bless you, Laura. My hubby loves gardening 🧑🌾 and has started many seeds for flowers and veggies - indoors under LED grow lights and they will move to our greenhouse in April (here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦). Thanks for the inspiration you give to all your viewers. 🙏🏻🪴🪴🙏🏻
My friend and I went to a local farm where you can pay $18 for a big mason jar and you cut your own flowers. They had the “brain“ Celosia along with some flamingo Celosia and other varieties that were so pretty. My friend and I saved all the seeds from our vases and bought a second vase towards the end of the season mostly just collecting more beautiful flower seeds. We also got a large amount of red spinach Amaranth. My plan is to make a huge hill of mostly reds and purples. ❤️🥰 thank you for posting these because you’re reminding me to throw some snapdragon seeds out in the yard. 😂 my seven-year-old daughter loves nature so I have her planting flowers for the pollinators. We have a really pretty white aster that the bees love that grows naturally on my land and I am winter sewing in milk jugs to share with a plant group for local pollination plants. 🥰
Seed plants have a large influence on day-to-day human life. Not only are plants the major source of food and medicine, they also influence many other aspects of society, from clothing to industry.
I used to only garden for utility, but I am loving starting seeds for lovely things now! My garden is becoming a really welcoming and beautiful space, thanks Laura for showing me how to do that!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Seeing all these seeds makes me realize I’m running out of landscape for planting! Who needs grass, right? 🤷🏼♀️ I love the Bunny Tails! Everything looks so amazing. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I started a bunch of flower and vegetable seeds on Sunday. On Tuesday, there were a bunch that had already germinated. So looking forward to getting into the garden this year.
I have watched your channel for many years and still get excited when I see you plant something tropical like the Celosia. The brain one I grew up knowing as a child in the Caribbean and just called it "the red velvet flower". It's nice to put a name to the plant, something I have gotten so much better at, watching your channel. I garden in a tropical climate and most times I just watch for the thrill and take in whatever knowledge I can even though it doesn't apply to my climate.
The green potting tray you use is available at Kinsman’s website. The woven metal urn planters you planted in a couple of weeks ago are available at Antique Farmhouse website. Gotta help my fellow garden shoppers.
I love the vermiculite trick. Total game changer. This is my second year gardening and even though my yields are not huge. I give myself grace because I love gardening for my mental health first. Feeling the moist dirt, poking holes and holding seeds does wonders for my soul. ❤ I adore gardening and will never stop. Thank you for helping me see that in people, including you. It makes this world 🌎 smile a little better. 😊 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot of these episodes. We have about half meter snow covering the garden. Seeds are growing next to windows. You inspiried to test salvia good to hear again that bees like it.
Chocolate flowers languish without a sunny spot and can handle wind and heat! Love them! Only drawback is that to smell them its best to be of small stature! These would be a wonderful addition to Benjamin's butterfly garden!
Ok! Thanks Laura &!Aaron! Today I needed a pick up from you guys, and as always, you delivered and went beyond expectations! Thank you both for filming during stressful times around the world 💐
Soo just a quick fact about the "red brain" flower, in Mexico its grown to take to the cementary on day of the death. I remember my grandma growing them every year its a very interesting flower. I love it!
I just love when Im kind of dragging my feet to do something I'm needing to do, & Laura posts a video doing that EXACT THING, & gives me the motivation to get started!
We had the brain celosia in our wedding bouquets! My florist mother in law picked them out and made all of our arrangements! We loved the addition of celosia.
I know you guys don’t do Mail Time videos anymore, but what about “most used” gifts/items for the garden. I’d love to see what others send that’s been useful. This community has some of the best “must purchase” recommendations. Sending love, Danaé
Oh my word, I never thought that planting flower seeds would be so exciting. I can't wait until they are all planted in your flower garden, its going to be beautiful.
I've waited three seasons to be able to sow seeds. I bought the three shelf lighting units and many seeds each year but illness and time needed to recover from surgeries kept me from actually realizing this dream. But now I'm actually doing it and have trays started. I've selected perennials and annuals many of which are the ones that you have tried. Your advice and recommendations have been super helpful. I'm doing outdoor sowing as well. I'm so freaking happy about this LOL. The journey was difficult but I've learned so much. Isn't it funny how we can have so much joy over tiny seeds?
Good morning GA family 🌻🌼🌻🌼 I'm so excited for this growing season 😁 I'm starting so many new to me flowers this year. I'm also starting millet for the birds n our chickens...Thank you Laura ❤️☺️❤️☺️
Another adventure in planting such beauties & remain in awe to hear you pronounce each of them. I can say Chocolate Flower!😊 I will be looking forward to their growth inside vs out. Love seeing the pictures of each one you planted. TU! Oh, anything peeking out from all the bulbs planted? The excitement grows!😁
Planting seeds teaches me that I am willing to take a chance and believe in a positive outcome. Once you've planted seeds you acquire a feeling of accomplishment. And brings such joy to me and my landscape..So Satisfying!
So beautiful!!! I went on Johnny Seeds after watching this to grab some. How silly of me to try haha they are all out until 2023, I’m sure from alll of your subscribers. 😂
I just found your channel, loving it! I do not have a green thumb but want to try. BTW there is no way I'm the first to say this but you are Jennifer Aniston's twin sister!!
I love these seed starting videos! Very informative, I wish I had the space to start seeds. All the varieties that you started are beautiful & I can't wait to enjoy the blooms & color!! 🙂🌸🌺🏵🌻🌱🌿
Leesa , That's me, I don't really have the space to start the seeds, so I end up buying the plants or f.owers & it's much more expensive. Off subject from flowers but I would love to grow an avocado plant & have had no luck. Anybody have any suggestions or hints it would be so appreciated. Beth
I have been a vegetable gardener for 40 years and have now gone crazy with flower starting. My husband tells people..."all she does is plant flowers"🌺 🌸 💐 ha!
Beautiful! I picked up some snapdragons last year at a private garden center and they were so beautiful all season! I’m not quite organized enough to start them from seed .
Maybe some cat towers in your greenhouse would help detour them from them being in unwanted areas? My hobby for gardening after following your videos has definitely become an addiction. Even the routine videos, are a pleasure to watch daily because it’s fun just to see the progress and tasks throughout the season. A special thank you to everyone that helps with these videos!
I plant Victoria blue salvia every year, zone 7b. Last year I didn’t have to purchase any because they came back, it happens when we have a mild one winter. One of my favorite plants, super easy to grow! Can’t wait to see your cut flower garden this year!!!! I want one!!!
I saw some of your videos these last days and I must say I really like this channel,you very well explain everything about flowers,I love your video about the cottage garden and others,very good channel.
I'm giving growing gomphrena from seeds (and in general) a try for the first time this year. I got the strawberry fields variety, and I'm super excited to see them in bloom.
Someone please tell me that this works. Lol. It's my first time planting seeds indoors and I pray everyday they live. I also am trying winter sowing and direct sowing. I figure of I try everything, I may get flowers. Here's hoping. Laura thanks for showing us it's okay to experiment.
Here in New Zealand, we are just entering Autumn, so its lovely to watch you planting all your seeds and it gives me ideas for what to think about planting next Spring🧡🌸 Watching all your seeds emerge and the planting, then seeing all your gardens flowering, is so refreshing during the winter months here. Thankyou for all the hard work you put into the videos, it brings alot of joy to us gardeners😁❤
Looking forward to seeing all these flowers out in your garden Ms Laura. I wish I could have a place to garden. Enjoy them all. Be safe and well. God's speed.
I have looked up lists of the best flowers grow for dried arrangements but I trust your opinion more than those. Love to see something growing and join in your excitement and hope.
Absolutely love seloshe or however you spell it! The red looks awesome with small sunflowers or or black eyed Susan's. I also like them with bachelors buttons.
In the US, chamois is pronounced as "shammy". Not sure if chamois cloths are still used but when I was young, chamois was used to clean/buff various things so we used to hear it pronounced frequently.
I grew the Mahogany Red Hibiscus last year and mine got 6ft tall and about 3-4ft wide! It was huge and absolutely gorgeous! I’m growing several more this year!
The blue butterfly pea flower is very popular here in Malaysia. We use the flower to make tea and add colour to special sticky rice dishes. The flower is supposed to be very healthy as the blue is indicative of high anthocyanin content (like blueberries). It is also a lot of fun for kids as you can make a blue iced drink but if you add a bit of an acid like lime or lemon juice, the colour changes and what kid doesn't love that magic! The Latin name is also quite interesting - I guess the Victorians weren't shy about how they named their plants. Its Latin name is basically a part of the female anatomy but I'll let you figure that one out yourself :)
🧀🧀🧀🤣🤣🤣 Cheddar…just chillin’ in the olive tree pot…having a nice bath!!! (as Laura talked about rudbeckias…unaware of the gingery mischief afoot!🐈🐈🐈😹😹😹!). The kitty men need a fan club! I just adore them!😻😻😻
I started Calendula and white marigolds the other day and they took off so fast, they look gorgeous, for seedlings. I have started lots of flowers as my new place has no flowers, I am working outdoors getting beds ready, I'm so excited.
I grew Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus from seeds last year and they grew 12-15 ft. tall 3ft. Wide. They bloomed late in the season around October the most beautiful deep red flowers, so beautiful. I will grow these again but not so many they really took over the flower bed.
Laura & Aaron, FYI I was able to find a soil tray like you use on Amazon. I used it to prep the soil for tge winter seeding sowing process I saw on your channel. Hopefully I'll be as successful as you have been.
So exciting to see all the beautiful varieties of flowers you are growing 🥰. I actually had some butterfly pea tea last night. That was the first time I had ever heard of that flower until your video 😊💗
Thank you Laura your information is always appreciated, today for the first time I'm dampening the soil first before putting my seeds in the seedling soil , I'm excited to see the difference than starting with dry soil then watering over top . 😉💞🌻⚘🌺💐💫🤞
I love the red brain flowers! They are unique and fun. Many years ago, a florist (which was only open to do funeral flower arrangements) in a small town in Wyoming, always had those in her arrangements. You always knew which arrangements were here.
I am so excited that you're growing Craspedia!! I am growing some as we speak. Very young seedlings but I am so excited. The dried flowers are stunning. Looking forward to seeing yours grow!!
Can you do a video that shows the stages of germination to sticking them in the ground.? I have a hell of a time getting them out of the tiny little pots without killing them. How do you know when they are ready to transplant?

🌱💕
I did the same and had broccoli up in 3 days! Idk where I'm gonna keep everything for a month lol I thought I would have 10 days to figure it out.
Love the way the kitties come in the green house and hang out while you work Laura.😊

Laura, you should really try my method of moistening the potting mix. So easy and MUCH less messy! :)
I started Calendula and white marigolds the other day and they took off so fast, they look gorgeous, for seedlings. I have started lots of flowers as my new place has no flowers, I am working outdoors getting beds ready, I'm so excited.
I grew Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus from seeds last year and they grew 12-15 ft. tall 3ft. Wide. They bloomed late in the season around October the most beautiful deep red flowers, so beautiful. I will grow these again but not so many they really took over the flower bed.
Oh man...I have this in seeds...i gotta space them right than...
@@gardeninglittlebylittle be sure to stake them early. A lot of mine fell over they were so heavy with branches. 😁
Where did you buy your seeds?
Love The Celosia & Rebeckia ! Try these! Thank you for this beautiful video Laura .🌺
Happy Wednesday Laura,what a growing season this will be,so exciting.Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Laura & Aaron, FYI I was able to find a soil tray like you use on Amazon. I used it to prep the soil for tge winter seeding sowing process I saw on your channel. Hopefully I'll be as successful as you have been.
So exciting to see all the beautiful varieties of flowers you are growing 🥰. I actually had some butterfly pea tea last night. That was the first time I had ever heard of that flower until your video 😊💗
Thank you Laura your information is always appreciated, today for the first time I'm dampening the soil first before putting my seeds in the seedling soil , I'm excited to see the difference than starting with dry soil then watering over top . 😉💞🌻⚘🌺💐💫🤞
I love the red brain flowers! They are unique and fun. Many years ago, a florist (which was only open to do funeral flower arrangements) in a small town in Wyoming, always had those in her arrangements. You always knew which arrangements were here.
I am so excited that you're growing Craspedia!! I am growing some as we speak. Very young seedlings but I am so excited. The dried flowers are stunning. Looking forward to seeing yours grow!!
Can you do a video that shows the stages of germination to sticking them in the ground.? I have a hell of a time getting them out of the tiny little pots without killing them. How do you know when they are ready to transplant?
Somehow it feels like you're planting all these for my pleasure. Awe, your soo sweet!
