helen, your pictures make me want to get back up there soon.

I want to see what variety of vitex they have. Most nurseries showing it being too tender for us. I have wanted one for years.

Pretty pictures Helen.
Wish my coneflowers still looked that good. I've tried deadheading them before but they didn't rebloom. Maybe I need to try again.

Here is a pretty small grass for Glenda (from the demonstration garden). See how it compares to the rhubarb and petunia; not very tall. It is ruby grass crystal pink or something similar.

Helen, your pictures are always so pretty! I really like the second picture. My coneflowers also do not look that pretty. I think I need to move them to a more sunnier spot.

Many of the coneflowers in the park looked bad and also the boy scouts wildflower garden looked really bad. All the wildflowers had brown seed heads. The poppy mallow had been taken over by bermuda. I did not take pictures of the ugly but it helped me. Some people have neat lawns with foundation shrubs and their yards always look neat because they mow and weedeat. Flowers are messy. They look good in their peak and they decline. When they go to seed they may look ugly. I am not a line them up in a row and prune them into little balls person. I like a little disorder and unexpected outcomes.
