Chaenorhinum is a species I’ve been drawn to for many years, but I didn’t try to grow them until 2018 when I ordered these seeds for the memory garden. I ended up with six or seven seedlings that I planted out on the street side of the garden. The seedlings were precocious and bloomed quickly with just a few flowers, but in 2019 they really put on a show. The plants and flowers are charming–diminutive, but showy when they get going. In 2020, only three plants appear to remain. They are blooming, but not with the gusto they showed last year.
Chaenorhinum May 2019 
I’ll keep working to get better photos–they are so tiny, my phone doesn’t want to focus on them!
For 2020, I’ll try to keep the weeds away and baby these babies a bit to maybe help them grow stronger.
