Cleome and Sunflowers
F11, 1/60. ISO200, 57mm
These are the two main flowers I am now growing. I introduced Cleome into the garden again this year and it is a prolific seeder. This sunflower was a volunteer from its ancestor’s seed sown last fall. Plants that reseed themselves and grow on their own next year is a goal of the Bucktown Garden.
Cleome on SE corner main roof
Cleome grows on the SE corner of the main roof. Cleome is an easy plant to grow because it can withstand harsh environments and reseeds itself like an invasive weed. Although I had to buy Cleome seedlings this year, next year I’ll probably get Cleome for free.
Veranda Cleome
Pink Cleome blooming amongst morning glories on NW corner veranda. Cleome is a big tough plant. We’ll see how this plant fares when the morning glories get big.
Cleome and Curry
Cleome and curry grow where my tomatoes have grown and failed for the last four years.
Cleome and Cucmbers
Southeast corner of main roof. Cleome can grow into a monster plant and this year I decided to grow it on the main roof. Cleome might be the reason why I see more bees that could have led to increased flowering in the tomato plants.
