My last bloom of the 2014 season, Carpet of Snow variety Sweet Alyssum! I waited the entirety of Spring and Summer 2014, but my slow growing Alyssum finally bloomed this week in Autumn. I won't go as far as saying it was worth the wait in regards to its tiny blooms, but it was a nice surprise to see it finally especially after witnessing some of my flowers dying off. Although some regard this plant as an easy to grow flower, I've encountered numerous problems throughout its slow growth ranging from over-watering and wilting from the Summer heat, so its a relief to see the fruits of my labor. Looking back, I've had some great success growing my indoor plants this year and had fun discovering the local plant life and wildflowers in my area. Can't wait till next year!
