Susan wrote for help with a Seniors project she undertaken: "I volunteer at Seniors' Home. The staff want to do a project growing flowering plants indoors from seed that will be in flower during May. They asked me for ideas but I'm no expert on growing flowers from seed, or on what will be flowering in May. Do you have any ideas? The plants can't be spiky or toxic."
May is a tricky time of year for seed grown flowers. I think if they get started now, indoors, they may have some luck with prolific bloomers like: Cornflower, cosmos, larkspur, stock, sweet pea and small flowering zinnia. Maybe some of you have participated in similar projects and can offer other flower ideas or tips to get them going. I'm sure Susan want's to get started right away.
