This is my first year with these charming flowers. I have them growing on a dry hillside with agaves and sages. They are so pretty and delicate, I hope they become invasive, at least within the boundries of my garden.

This may be a weed or invasive in other areas - but if all weeds were so pretty we wouldn't mind them so much! I started the seeds too late in the season, yet they still managed to bloom for me, I hope to get a better start with them this year. Nice and tall, not very wide - they fit in beautifully with other flowers, not crowding them out, at least, not in my area.
