The Great Sunflower Project

The bees are buzzing. None of the subject plants are blooming yet, but the bees here in Southern NJ are abuzz over the crocus and small wildflowers blooming in the park. I included a picture I took yesterday. I hope it will post.

In my area (Southern California) I found the Lemon Queen Seeds at Armstrong's Nursery for $1.89. I had checked Home Depot (no Lemon Queens) and Lowe's, which had a package with Lemon Queens mixed with another sunflower type.

Columbus, Indiana. I found Lemon Queen seeds at Target from Burpee for $1.69. I purchased several packs to share with Friends.
I have had several variety of sunflower in the garden in past years. My gardens primary focus is Herbs. I have Purple coneflower, Bee Balm, Fennel, Sage, Curry, Basil, Dill. Many of the herbs seem to attract different types of bees. With the help of the project I will attempt to identify and photograph bee varieties. I will not be able to plant until April 7th or 8th due to the frost conditions. I will also likely loose the first planting to rabbits.

Dear Gretchen,

I participated in the count in 2009 and I would like to participate this year too. I still have my account and I updated the description of my garden. Do I need to do anything else to be able to participate this year?

Thanks so much!

I have just looked thru the six seed catalogs that I buy from. None of them had Lemon Queen sunflower seeds, tho there were several that are similar. I noticed in the Nichols catalog (Oregon nursery) that most of their seeds produced flowers that are pollen free, great for cutting in arrangements but not so good for the bees. People need to carefully read the plant descriptions before buying seeds.
So now I need the seeds, where do I go to get them, or has the Project bought them all?

I ordered a couple calendars when they were first advertised. Does anyone know when they will be sent out?????
