Default Why No Flowers ?

Hi,

Live outside of Boston.

About a month and a half ago I bought a package of "wildflower" seeds.
A very good, well known, brand, but I don't remember which.
Also, some top of the line potting soil.

Planted them in one of those long rectangular planters, with the
drain holes in the bottom.

Well watered, and outside in plenty of sun. No flowers !

So, any opinions on why no flowers ?

Plenty of green stalks; looks like a jungle.

Could it be we used too many seeds ?
Should it be thinned out, or are other possibilities more likely ?

Any thoughts or opinions would be most appreciated.



Perennials never do well the first year. Wait until next year. I planted
marigolds this year and they're growing slowly. But I know next year
they'll be huge.
