Aha! Yellow-red perennial is perennial gaillardia

Came across the wildflower packet I sowed in the fence-front bed in 2018.  Image searched all the varieties listed on the packet and learned that the yellow-red perennial, from which I collected seed last year and started a new plant this year, is perennial gaillardia.  Will go back and add this label to previous posts.

I only wish it didn't grow so tall, needs all kind of support and you don't fully see the flowers because it's so tall.

Yellow-orange perennial transplanted

The yellow-orange perennial from the seeds I collected last year was transplanted today, in the small bed outside the fence.  It hasn't grown much in the past month or two.  Its companion outside is substantially larger.

Yellow-red perennial sprouted! And some celery. Moved into soil.

Cool!  One of the seeds collected from 2019's yellow-red perennial has sprouted (in the paper towel).  It looks like two leafs, but I don't see any actual roots yet.  Moved it into soil.

Celeries have started sprouting too.  Moved into soil as well.  And some more onions and parsley.

Celery, parsley (two kinds), onions (2019 and 2018), and yellow-red perennial started in paper towel baggies

Today, I started these, using the paper towel baggie method (which for some reason I don't think I've really ever done before):

- celery (same variety as always, from the foil packet)
- parsley (two varieties:  forest green and single Italian)
- onions (2019 collected and 2018 collected)
- yellow-red perennial from in front of the fence (2019 collected)
