I love having plants around and would love to have my own garden but I live in an apartment. It would be really neat to see an article like this one only geared for those who don't have yard-space.

It is very difficult to grow in a home garden for some reason. The seed cover is so hard they must be frozen and then cracked in order to get them to bloom. We go to the small town of Ennis for their bluebonnet festival. They have a street celebration and a map to the best showings of the bluebonnets. I grow Purple Cone flowers and LOVE them, but they do like their sun for sure. They are easy to grow and there is such an abundance of seeds there are plenty to share with others. I just sent some home with my daughter who lives in Galveston. You have a lovely blog and I would love to come back for visit. My cousin sent me the link to your blog.

However, I am guilty of lifting the occasional beach stone, which I think is the same offense. Last year I bought "indigenous" plants from a local County Forest Preserve Annual Sale. The proceeds support the county parks and the plants support the birds and the bees. Also, supporting the "Please do not pick the flowers" law... consider the "what if everyone did it?" theory. I was led to believe species may become extinct or maybe we should just leave them there for everyone to enjoy. What I'm trying to say is - I love this post! Wildflowers are beautiful and hearty and easy to grow!
