Skunks Botanical Garden

[SkunK]

Figured I'd bash up a thread here and document my summer Botanical Garden, not sure how far some of these plants will go as some of them were started a little late this year. I'll document all of my plants other than Cacti and Cannabis which I'll share in a separate thread.



Papaver Somniferum --->I grow a fair bit of Poppy's, they are one of my favorite flowers to see! I unfortunately lost a lot of my seed collection over the last 5 years. So I'm working with what I have left and over the winter I'll source some new seed for next season. The seedlings are a little bigger as this Photo was taken a week or so ago, just been poring rain and I haven't been out to take more photos, and these are just a few of my pots growing!

I've got a bunch of Tobacco seeds growing... a few different kinds but these were unfortunately sown a little to late in the season, so they more than likely wont make it through to maturity so some I might finish under lights to get the seeds..

I'll break down the Varities once the rain stops and they get potted up

The toothache plant (Acmella oleracea) --> Electric Daisy, Eyeball Plant, Buzz Bombs




Traditionally, the plant is used for its medicinal benefits. It’s commonly used for toothaches, but it’s also used for other issues like inflammation and gastrointestinal problems. Its an interesting plant and one of my favorite patio flowers.
