Seed gathering and cleaning and sowing is a lot of work. Unless you love it. Then it is a lot of fun. ONOPORDUM ACANTHIUM is one of the most beautiful thistles I know. I hope they germinate! #onopordumacanthium #onopordum #scotchthistle #oisforonopordum #hollingtonsflorilegium #seedsavers #semiscambi #weedsareflowerstoo #iloveweeds #lamacchinafissa #mezzogiardiniere #clarkanthonylawrence (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeybwFgIbYc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wish I knew their names. The maroon and white one might be a Christmas Lima Bean. Many of the more interesting large beans came from SeMiScambi, a seed-swapping meeting in Cremona (in September). There is so much good stuff there, and the people are kind and generous.

I am in Castelponzone (Cremona) today, giving away seeds and selling my outrageously expensive pumpkins!

Cosmos sulphureus. The plant is from Mexico and central america, but I got the seeds in August of 2008 during a walk from Sanzen-in Temple to Jakko-in Temple. There was a field near Ohara that was full of them. Unforgettable. I have been growing them ever since. #seeds #seedsavers #semiscambi #souvenirfromjapan🇯🇵 #gardenersofitaly #mezzogiardiniere (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuSFf_IPLF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Plants remind me of people and places. This was a gift from Valeria Vecchia, so obviously reminds me of her. #valeriavecchia #semiscambi #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningfriends #gardengifts #ortensie #ortensiaquercifolia #lamacchinafissa (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0fg9wLYDW/?utm_medium=tumblr
