A Delicate Touch of Elegance

Known scientifically as Clarkia amoena, but often lovingly called "Farewell-to-Spring," this charming annual is admired for its silky petals and joyful colors that bring a painter’s touch to any garden.Godetia blossoms look almost as if they’ve been brushed with watercolor. Their petals, satin-like in texture, bloom in shades of pink, lavender, red, and white. Sometimes the petals come with delicate markings—like a gentle stroke of deeper color in the center—making each flower appear unique, as though nature herself was experimenting with art.

The common name “Farewell-to-Spring” captures the essence of Godetia perfectly. As spring begins to fade and summer unfolds, these flowers step into the spotlight, bringing freshness to gardens during the seasonal shift. Their timing feels like a celebration of beginnings, gently reminding us to welcome change with beauty and optimism.
