I'm so happy that people are grateful for people who do these timelapses. The comments seem so positive!

It’s somewhat wholesome to watch flowers grow from tiny little seeds to beautiful blooming specks of colour.

@@TheTimelapseTeam it’s funny because on my street this year nobody cut the grass. And I mean nobody it’s like a waiting game of who will mow first and fail the challenge. It’s quite beautiful too. When you accept that weeds is a lost cause anyway haha

So beautiful! I can't wait to watch my beds of PNW native wildflowers grow this year!

@KatarinaS. 3 месяца назад

I'm from the PNW as well. Where did you get your seeds or what brand or company sells them and when did you sow them? This person didn't seem to cover or rake theirs in at all, and it looks like it's in a greenhouse, but I feed the birds and worry they'll eat all my flower seeds. How do you prevent that? I've never planted wildflowers before but would like to this year, i bought some packets from $Tree, but our yard is tiny and the bed I'd plant them in is where we have all of our bird feeders. Should I plant them in pots instead, away from the bird feeders, and cover with a light layer of soil or mulch? I'd appreciate any advice you could give.

There’s a local house not even a mile away from mine and they’re backyard is filled luxuriously to the brim with wildflowers of all sorts and kinds. They also have many bees that pollinate the flowers and they harvest the honey from them for ten bucks for a container a bit larger than a store-bought plastic honey bear.

It’s very difficult to grow large wildflower gardens. It’s a constant battle against grasses, weeds, and deer. But the payoff is so beautiful.

@CaitSithOfWutai 2 года назад

i cried. i wish i had a garden. a field of beautiful flowers would be right in the center as the crown.

@meikusje 2 года назад

So beautiful ❤️ unfortunately, we have a few too many birds and small critters that like to eat up the seeds, so all my attempts at a similar field of flowers have failed so far 🤭 I don't mind, critters need to eat as well. This year I'm trying pre-sowing inside and planting the flowers outside when they're a bit bigger, now the only thing to worry about is snail attacks. Fingers crossed they'll survive this year!

@dafferdill6181 2 года назад

Hello! You can get seed balls, or seed bombs. They have the seeds enclosed in clay so the birds cannot peck at them all at once. As it rains the clay slowly washes away and the seeds are distributed ready to germinate. Some even contain chilli to further discourage nibbling. You could try a few of them and maybe hang some bird feeders? Good luck!

Gorgeous, I would love a whole field of those. What are those bright orange ones that open and close? Do they grow again next year or does it need new seeds?

@TheTimelapseTeam 2 года назад

The orange ones are californian poppies. They are all annuals so the original plants don't regrow but they all set seeds and I often find lots of the varietes popping up in and around the beds next year

@juliemcgugan1244 2 года назад

The orange ones look like California poppy to me.

@Quklasa 2 года назад

I had a secluded bed with California poppies and when the seed pods erupted they managed to send seeds across my driveway into my lawn and beyond. I had a few in the grass, some growing in the cracks of the drive, even in the gutter, it was so charming, they grow everywhere and spread easily.

@gokhankilical2017 2 года назад

I would love to give you a small advce for the next time you plant wild flowers :) Premix the seeds in a 10:1 ratio with soil or sand and scater the mix on top of the fresh soil. This way you will have not an overdose of seeds and you plants will be able to grasp better into the soil.

@jgreen7070 2 года назад
