Carnation Flower Seeds:Description:Pretty flowers in shades of red, maroon, pink and magenta bloom atop compact mounds of foliage usually grey-green, blue-green or deep green. Flowers bloom prolifically in early summer, but some may re-bloom in fall if the spent flowers are removed. They make a terrific border or edging plant and also look great planted in mass.Mesembryanthemum / Midday Flower Seeds:Description:This is the familiar Livingstone Daisy or, as it seems to be generally known, just 'Mesembryanthemum'. A cultivated strain of this splendid annual plant with spreading habit, it gives plants covered with flowers in a wide range of brilliant shades of gold, salmon, pink, purple and carmine red.Mesembryanthemum, which means 'midday flowering', is a ground-hugging, sun loving, spreading plants, perfect for rockeries, they can also be used between flagstones and in dry walls.Perfect for dry sunny locations where they will produce flowers in abundance and an ideal plant for hosepipe bans! Mesembryanthemum is a member of the family Aizoaceae; many members of this family including the present genus are characterized by long lasting flower heads. The flowers protect their gametes from night-time dews or frosts but open in sunlight. There is obviously an evolutionary advantage of doing this; where dew, frost, wind or predators are likely to damage exposed reproductive organs, closing may be advantageous during times when flowers are unlikely to attract pollinators.
