Bidens Pilosa Update
The Bidens Pilosa are still going strong even though here in Seattle the weather has been somewhat cool. The stems of the plant are now a purple color and the plant itself is starting to get more woody in appearance. The plant doesn't stick straight up as it did in the past, but if it did, I would say the plant is over 6 inches tall. Still no flowers, but there seems to be a few places on the plant that seem like a flower is about to appear. Given that we have had steady sun for a few days I think given a little more time we should see some flowers. I am still holding out hope that the plant can make it to bloom stage. So we will have to wait a bit longer. The Wildflower Association is in full swing. We will be sending a few seeds over to the island in the next few days. By June these plants will have a start on the island. We still expect that by October the seeds will have time to form and bloom. The Coral Vine already exists ...
