THE NEED TO DEADHEAD

Pincushion flower A bloom on the way out
This plant has bloomed all winter--in North Dakota, it would die back to the ground, but not in Texas.  It is a go getter when it comes to blooms.  The down side?  Deadheading or taking all the dead blooms off.  That keeps it going.  Love the color, so I will keep deadheading so it will keep blooming.

After the flower
Before the flower

 Many, many blooms




Sorry the pictures are fuzzy...I always try to get
to close.

  1. Really pretty color! It is a lot of work taking off dead blooms, isn't it?
