"Native to the Midwest"? Seriously?
Queen Anne's Lace is classified by the USDA as a noxious weed. Toadflax (baby snapdragon), Baby's Breath, and Cornflower are classified as invasive species by the USDA and are native to the southern Europe. Rose Mallow, and None-so-Pretty are native to Europe. Pot Marigold and Scarlet Flax come from northern Africa. California poppy, Godetia, Farewell-to-Spring, Globe Gilia, and Baby Blue Eyes are from California, which is at least on the same continent as the Midwest. Chinese forget-me-not is, not surprisingly, from China. The red poppy is native to Turkey and Iran. Four O'Clocks are also called Marvel of Peru, since they are from Peru. Sulpher cosmo is native to South America."Wild cosmo" can be any number of plants, most of which are native to Mexico. There is no one species referred to as "annual lupine": the Texas Bluebonnet is native, but many other lupines are native to Europe.

So out of 23 flower species, only Plains Coreopsis, Wild Larkspur, Indian Blanket, and Sunflower are native to the American Midwest. Doesn't that count as false advertising?
