I like the little trail of meadowfoam, inviting us deeper into the garden. Nice pairing of bloom colors. And great photos of the triteleia, allium and white poppy. I had one as well. They are really cool.

I’ve seen White Linen look good with the Baby Blue Eyes you have so much of and which I don’t’ seem able to grow. I don’t usually like Alba varieties, but this one has a nice ivory color like you say.

I’ll second the love for the friendly soft yellow meadowfoam with the more architectural edibles. It’s a calming little tableau, but still with lots of interesting things going on. The White Linen poppy also looks like another soft, easy color to work with. I’m coming to really appreciate how well that soft ivory plays with other colors.

Gayle, I think meadowfoam would do well in your yard.
Keewee, agreed, Sacred Flower sure knows how to bloom.
Katie, I think so, too. I like the ornamental with the edible.
Randy, I haven’t yet seen the Triteleia reseed, but I’ve seen the Brodeias reseed. Hard to imagine them becoming a problem around here, but they have been really easy to grow, so it wouldn’t be a complete surprise. Thanks, your photos are much better than mine.

One of my customers has Triteleia ixiodes everywhere in there yard and several yards nearby. Must seed pretty freely. Great photos, enjoyed them very much.

The meadowfoam and mustard combo is quite striking!
