This Consolida self-sown itself in my garden on Guerrero in February. Copiously so I know it was one I planted last year. Which according to my seed records it would be Consolida ajacis 'Earl Grey'. I have sown a few different Consolida over the last three years. One is white but this one doesn't match the photos I see when I search the internet. It's a single and the leaves are more palm-like than fern-like, dark green with a heavy waxy surface.

Gladiolus n. papilio 'Ruby'
I planted this one a couple years ago. Love this rich ruby coloring. It doesn’t seem to get the rust like the larger florist gladiolus.

Agapanthus 'Back in Black'
I planted this clump of Agapanthus from Digging Dog Nursery in December 2022. This is the first time to bloom and the first time I have been able to assess the color.

Unique Biennial for the Meadow - Clary Sage
Over the last few years I have been growing more of my plants from seeds. Although it takes at least 24 months from sowing until a one-gallon plant, I find it worthwhile. But with a plant that tends to be biennial you can lower that to nine months. Sow in the fall and flowers in July.
