@@TheTimelapseTeam it’s funny because on my street this year nobody cut the grass. And I mean nobody it’s like a waiting game of who will mow first and fail the challenge. It’s quite beautiful too. When you accept that weeds is a lost cause anyway haha

I'm from the PNW as well. Where did you get your seeds or what brand or company sells them and when did you sow them? This person didn't seem to cover or rake theirs in at all, and it looks like it's in a greenhouse, but I feed the birds and worry they'll eat all my flower seeds. How do you prevent that? I've never planted wildflowers before but would like to this year, i bought some packets from $Tree, but our yard is tiny and the bed I'd plant them in is where we have all of our bird feeders. Should I plant them in pots instead, away from the bird feeders, and cover with a light layer of soil or mulch? I'd appreciate any advice you could give.
Thank you 😊. Best of luck with your meadow I'm sure it will be very beautiful. Wildflower meadows are wonderful to look at all the way through the summer!
I rent... The previous tenant removed some patio stones from the 20' x 20' backyard. WILDFLOWERS TIME (now that I removed the massive 20 year old thorn bush that threatened my toddler).
This is really helpful. I’m designing a new pond/meadow/bog area in my garden and I didn’t realise how tall these plants are! Going to switch my bog garden and meadow round, as there’s a bench that needs a view into the pond. Cheers!
@@TheTimelapseTeam I am seeing mine start to grow, though I have some rolie polies crawling around. Will be placing oranges tomorrow night to get them out of there! Fingers crossed 🥺
There’s a local house not even a mile away from mine and they’re backyard is filled luxuriously to the brim with wildflowers of all sorts and kinds. They also have many bees that pollinate the flowers and they harvest the honey from them for ten bucks for a container a bit larger than a store-bought plastic honey bear.
So beautiful ❤️ unfortunately, we have a few too many birds and small critters that like to eat up the seeds, so all my attempts at a similar field of flowers have failed so far 🤭 I don't mind, critters need to eat as well. This year I'm trying pre-sowing inside and planting the flowers outside when they're a bit bigger, now the only thing to worry about is snail attacks. Fingers crossed they'll survive this year!
Hello! You can get seed balls, or seed bombs. They have the seeds enclosed in clay so the birds cannot peck at them all at once. As it rains the clay slowly washes away and the seeds are distributed ready to germinate. Some even contain chilli to further discourage nibbling. You could try a few of them and maybe hang some bird feeders? Good luck!
Gorgeous, I would love a whole field of those. What are those bright orange ones that open and close? Do they grow again next year or does it need new seeds?
The orange ones are californian poppies. They are all annuals so the original plants don't regrow but they all set seeds and I often find lots of the varietes popping up in and around the beds next year
I had a secluded bed with California poppies and when the seed pods erupted they managed to send seeds across my driveway into my lawn and beyond. I had a few in the grass, some growing in the cracks of the drive, even in the gutter, it was so charming, they grow everywhere and spread easily.
Awesome video. gives me hope for the flowers I planted. I noticed at the start that they look like a bunch of weeds, which is what I have now, But they turned out great later in the video. Thanks.
V české republice je moderní na místa, kde je problém z travinami sázet takto okrasný a účelný trávník. Je to nádhera a hmyz má z toho užitek. Díky za fajn video.
I would love to give you a small advce for the next time you plant wild flowers :) Premix the seeds in a 10:1 ratio with soil or sand and scater the mix on top of the fresh soil. This way you will have not an overdose of seeds and you plants will be able to grasp better into the soil.
This is what I've always told folks trying to grow poppies. Unless you want to do a lot of thinning or have plants choking each other, best to add sand to increase dispersion
Wow incredible 👏 and keeps changing something new all the time fantastic. Do you need 2 protect seedlings from slugs please. Planting tomorrow thanks so much.
Thank you 😊. I didn't protect from slugs and it was fine but might be worth it if you can. Probably depends on your climate and how prolific slugs are in your area
They live in Britain. I saw them say in another comment that this is a British wild flower pack. But I would recommended you buy a local wild flower mix at a garden shop in your area. Also be careful because often the local wildflower packs also include non-native flowers...
I take a few packs of poppy seeds and add them to a bucket of about 3 parts sand and 1 part decent soil…mix it together then spread the contents around my garden mid April. Likely get abour 10% flowers which is still more than plenty.
It was a British wildflower seeds mix. Yes mostly annuals. I only had them in the bed for one summer as I needed that space for veg next year but the would resend themselves. You normally need to cut back each year to stop grasses taking over if planning to grow for multiple years
It wasn't a British wildflower mix, even if labelled so. There are non-native flowers there, such as California Poppy. Many "wildflower" mixes have species which are not native to where they are sold.
You've got to cut it every late summer/early fall with a scythe or something similar that only cuts the grass once, not rips it or mulches it. After cutting (which month depends on your location) let everything lie in place for a couple of weeks to allow time for reseeding. The last step, and the most important one at that is to remove the clippings from the area. Put it on a compost pile, under bushes or as ground cover in the garden, as long as it's gone from your flower field you're good. If you let it decompose, the much faster growing weeds and grasses will smother the flowers the coming years and will eventually take over the whole patch. Nothing wrong with that really, but a seed mix often looks better than a weed patch.
@@sh-hg4eg I bought a wildflower mix here in Chile to grow in the spring and after my usual extensive research about every plant included in the mix, turns out none of them are native to the whole of south America, the closest one was mexican, 90% are US natives and the other 10% are mixed african daisies and such. My whole intention was to help native bees/bugs and now idk if to actually plant them or not :(
@@rowenalvarado6816 Hi. Don't worry, you can just plant them in your garden, just don't sow them in the wild nature. In your garden it's fine. Bees will love it. And everything is better than concrete or lawn. Just sow them this year and look for a native mix next year.
I've been looking for ideas I have so much wildflower seeds. What happens at the end of season do you cut everything down to the base of the flowers ? Just wondering if the perennial plants will grow back if you cut them all back and do you reseed where the annuals used to be?
Just to point out, some of those flowers are NOT British wildflowers. You can clearly see California Poppies in that mix. Many "wildflower" mixes contain flowers which are not wild to where they are sold. Use caution.

I'm so happy that people are grateful for people who do these timelapses. The comments seem so positive!
It’s somewhat wholesome to watch flowers grow from tiny little seeds to beautiful blooming specks of colour.
Was a short lawn well trim guy, but I decided to dedicate half of my front yard to wild flowers this year.
Nice one! It's such a good thing for bees and insects to convert grass lawn to wild flowers

Every roadside should look like this.
Why not eh? Love this idea.
Totally. Make it happen 😂
So beautiful! I can't wait to watch my beds of PNW native wildflowers grow this year!

The flowers look butterflies when they open and close. So beautiful!!
I love especially the bit when red poppies sing out like a soprano hitting the high notes.
So much more beautiful and useful than a boring lawn! 🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘☘🍀💐
I feel the vibration of life from this wild flower bed. Really touched my heart. Thank you!
amazing. starting my own mini meadow this month.
Thank you 😊. Best of luck with your meadow I'm sure it will be very beautiful. Wildflower meadows are wonderful to look at all the way through the summer!

I started mine yesterday! Nothing has come up sofar though .. 🙃 LOL
why am I crying about flowers.. that was beautiful 🥺 the zoom in got me
At some point, it looks like a Monet painting. Incredible!
What a wonderful video!
Plants are very thankful creatures!
When a human works with them , they give a joy of nice bloom.
Its interesting watching them lean with the sun day after day.
This is so exciting! I have 2 large planters and am on Day 1 ❤ This is so lovely! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely stunning. Watching the beauty of nature unfold is a gift to hold close to your heart.
Thank you for sharing x

woow! The flowers in time-lapse are like butterflies opening and closing their wings! 😍😍 Thanks for sharing the joy!
So beautiful! I really enjoyed that. Thank you!
Outstanding, thank you for taking the time to show what is possible. Very hopeful to see what I planted to be half as productive.
How beautifully you
captured it on camera👍👍
Thank you for making this! I thoroughly enjoyed this! So beautiful, and how when one fades another opens, it's just so pretty!
what an amazing thing to watch, thank you for this beautiful creation.
Ooo so pretty, I'm watching this waiting for mine to grow, it's my first time and I just planted them today
That's awesome! They are so lovely to look at later on in the year when the flowering starts. Good luck with your flowers!
I just put mine down!!!
Any updates on how they look now? ❤️
@@TheTimelapseTeam I am seeing mine start to grow, though I have some rolie polies crawling around. Will be placing oranges tomorrow night to get them out of there! Fingers crossed 🥺
@@tamyiarich8980 do the Rolly pollies eat the flowers? I planted some last week and have a ton of them in my garden bed
Thanks for the video, this is exactly what i wanted to see what the process would be like
Just planted some seeds. Looking forward to watching them grow into colorful flowers.
I planted my babies a few months ago.Oh my God,do I love them,so awesome!
beautiful video - thanks for the patience to capture this on film.

I would love to live next to them❤
Thank you for showing this. I just planted 19k wild flower seeds for my garden. Hoping I won't kill them and they will end up as beautiful as this
I loved this. Thank you
amazing, wow just beautiful! i thought about doing this in a kiddie pool!
Wow! It took a long time to see the flowers bloom! I’m impatient! Haha
A gardener has to be patient. 60 days for the first bloom.
That was exhilarating! Thank you! I feel so happy right now. It’s weird!
I think that’s a sane and healthy reaction 😊
A short perimeter fence would keep the stems from flopping over, learned this after planting a similar mix.
Wow thank you, you have inspired me to do this in my front garden.
enjoyed that ! do another time lapse!!!
I want this in my room your honor they're beautiful 😍
Thank you for this! Really helpful to compare how well my flower garden is doing
I planted mine in medio march and here in april they've sprouted a tiny bit 😅 Awesome time lapse
Nature is so beautiful
That turned out great! makes me want to try one of those pollinator seed mixes in one of my raised beds now
I did that, this past summer. It was pretty and attracted hummingbirds as well as bees
i cried. i wish i had a garden. a field of beautiful flowers would be right in the center as the crown.
Your flower beds look awesome!
What an amazing bed and video! I'll definitely do it for my mini balcony garden to watch back the season ☺

Forget buying seed bombs, just make em yourself! Good fun for the kids to get in on too.
Feed apart the birds too hehe
@@rainynight02 they didn't say to buy them...
@@facelessdrone
"Get" implies "purchase" aka "buy."
Don't be dense.

The orange ones look like California poppy to me.
I had a secluded bed with California poppies and when the seed pods erupted they managed to send seeds across my driveway into my lawn and beyond. I had a few in the grass, some growing in the cracks of the drive, even in the gutter, it was so charming, they grow everywhere and spread easily.
I'm going to give it a try this year, wish me luck:)
This is soooo beautiful, I wish I could grow them someday
Thank you for this.
So beautiful

Im too late to plant my seeds this year but next year im dedicating my garden to wildflowers!
Gorgeous ❤

Wow, THAT was really beautiful and just relaxing to watch. Guess I need to get out to my little garden. Thanks! p
Beautiful 😢😊
Beautiful timelapse😊
Sooo amazing !!!
very nice timelapse!
Thank you so much.. it's really mesmerizing
Beautiful!!❤
These are the things I wake up to find.

great video!
Very nice
so gorgeous. Thank you! Green manure seems to sprout flowers so early, so i am planting them a few days and weeks apart
That song in the middle sounds like homesickness or intense yearning. It's heartbreaking.
LOVE this
❤ amazing
I would love to give you a small advce for the next time you plant wild flowers :) Premix the seeds in a 10:1 ratio with soil or sand and scater the mix on top of the fresh soil. This way you will have not an overdose of seeds and you plants will be able to grasp better into the soil.
Thanks for the advice. I failed to grow wild flowers in my garden. It is not easy to grow as I have clay soil
This is what I've always told folks trying to grow poppies. Unless you want to do a lot of thinning or have plants choking each other, best to add sand to increase dispersion
Yea i actually thought this wild "garden" was pretty bad,way too dense and flower even started falling over in june!
Just planted mine today in raised garden bed aswell, I'm in zone 9B and it's hot as hell down here.
How was it?
In your zone its better to sow in autumn, just before the first big rain, I think. Just like in nature.
Your flowers blooming are very beautiful^_^
Such a beautiful video!Are this flowers perennial?
So pretty! 💖
Hey! This is beautiful, and soothing. What zone are you in?
Wonderful. How many pictures per day did you take, or did you make short videos? I would like to try this myself.
❤❤❤
I’m going to do this beside my swimming pool
the best！
Thank you 😊
Wow incredible 👏 and keeps changing something new all the time fantastic. Do you need 2 protect seedlings from slugs please. Planting tomorrow thanks so much.
Thank you 😊. I didn't protect from slugs and it was fine but might be worth it if you can. Probably depends on your climate and how prolific slugs are in your area
It’s very difficult to grow large wildflower gardens. It’s a constant battle against grasses, weeds, and deer. But the payoff is so beautiful.
I grew wildflowers from seed on a dusty corner of a rented house. Blooming all year around. Not sure if should trim back.
Awesome, what where the seed mixes?
They live in Britain. I saw them say in another comment that this is a British wild flower pack. But I would recommended you buy a local wild flower mix at a garden shop in your area. Also be careful because often the local wildflower packs also include non-native flowers...
What brand of wild flower seeds? I live in uk and some people found no luck with certain wild flower packs but it’s come out amazing with u :) X
Good. For. Butterflys
amazing timelapse. I love poppies but can't get them to grow anywhere that's not concrete
I take a few packs of poppy seeds and add them to a bucket of about 3 parts sand and 1 part decent soil…mix it together then spread the contents around my garden mid April. Likely get abour 10% flowers which is still more than plenty.

Great video!
What is the latest date I can sow annual wildflower seeds in the UK to get flowers in the same year?
What seed mix was used, was this annuals? Also how did you maintain it afterwards - did you need to strim it?

Hi, can I use a fragment of your timelapse video for my project? Thank you very much.
What seed mix did you use ? Only asking as I got some an they were nothing like these.
It chose a local variety pack, so for me it was a British wildflowers seed mix
Just to point out, some of those flowers are NOT British wildflowers. You can clearly see California Poppies in that mix. Many "wildflower" mixes contain flowers which are not wild to where they are sold. Use caution.
I'm worried about my seeds i hop it will work that well ! I'ts encouraging
Any tips? 💗
can we just spead it? do we really have to prepare?
How many grams of wildflower seeds did you use? When’s the latest you can plant the seeds?
