Eliza Waters 
Another flower with multiple shades of colors Eliza, are we back in the hippie era? 🤣❤️🙏
A great self-sower, it shows up every year… always a surprise as to what color they will be.
It is amazing Eliza, a soul all its own 🤗❤️🙏
Such a super unusual flower. Alas, no volunteers between the patio bricks this year.
Thanks, Alice. I never have a shortage of volunteers, it seems.
I love these so much!
Aren’t they something, so different from other flowers. And they self-sow abundantly. 👏🏼 😎
Delicately pretty!
Thank you, Barbara. An annual that self-sows abundantly!
So pretty and delicate!
I grow them every year as they self sow readily. Yay! Thanks, Dale!
That’s wonderful! I dream of creating a garden in the spirit of yours. One day 🙂
A lovey capture 💐
Thank you, Val. I love these flowers (and so do the bees)!
I love that flower! My mother used to grow them in her tiny yard and they brought such an elegant burst to it, thus proving that even a tiny space can be abloom with color.
Nice memory, Laurie. 💕 Unusual flower and so easy to grow if you have a bit of ground and sunshine.
She had full sun and was very attentive to the flowers she grew. No wonder they flourished!
Those were my Dad’s favorites.
They are great annuals with a long bloom time, really something to see this time of year.
I will be trying them at my new home.
Their light airiness is so appealing, and the variation in color only adds to their attractiveness.
Thank you, Linda. The pollinators love them, too.
🌸💖🩷🤗 always a favourite of mine! Lovely!
Thank you, Susan!
I’ve never grown these, though I think they do okay here. I’ve always thought they were very pretty flowers, elegant and unusual.
They are a great annual, cut flower, and self-sow readily, so one has them forever. 🙂 I just weed out what I don’t want in the spring. Very economical!
Such beauties Eliza! 🩷🤍xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 💕
Cleome flowers always make be think of cat whiskers 😉 I do need to try growing them next year – I saw some at our local botanic garden yesterday (although they did look a bit shabby but then that may have been heat-related).

Gardeners either love them or dislike them intensely due to their skunky smell, thorns and sticky stems. Obviously, I’m a fan. 🙂
I’m not familiar with these, but I do appreciate their lovely, delicate color!
Thank you, Debbie. I’ve grown them for years, a great flower in the garden or vase. 🙂
Always a lovely flower – some years they appear in my garden, others they don’t. Time to reseed them!
I love to see what crosses the bees made the previous summer. I think only once did I have to resow, they tend to be quite abundant seeders in my garden!
Delicate flower, so pretty too!
Thank you, Belinda!
A pretty image of a lovely (and lacy) flower.
Thank you, Tom!
I love them (apart from their smell and spines!!) . Great photo showing their exotic lightness, Eliza.
Thank you, Allison. I can overlook their less savory attributes for their unusual beauty. 😉
So delicate looking as well as pretty.
Thank you, Monika!
These are lovely!
Thank you!
They look so light and delicate. Great photo Eliza!
Thank you, Maria! 💕
