Fresh Collected Seed - this season's seed which needs to be sown immediately, seed is not long-lived

Pictorial Meadows Seed - a mix of annuals chosen to bloom in sequence from June through September.
I sowed mine April 13, 2010. We had no rain after I sowed this year so the annuals did not grow, but the weeds did. For the first time I have had to weed it, particularly the thistles. As soon as it started to rain the annuals jumped into action - went from 2" to 10" in less than a week. By June 15, three weeks after that first rain, the first flowers were opening and they were mostly 20" tall. Extraordinary. By July 3, it looked divine, must take a picture. By Oct 20, much fallen over, a bit battered and bruised, but still in flower.
