Thank you for the heads-up Jill, will take a peek at her thread and see what I can come up with for her.

Well, I did it again yesterday. I just HAD to! I was in the greenhouse watering (always dangerous) when those beautiful Columbines started talking to me again. So, I decided that I just HAD to bring one home. .... and a Bleeding Heart. ... and some new annuals for my hanging basket. =) Got a 4-cell pack of Salvia, don't remember now if it's Red Hot Mama or Flare. Also a 6-cell pack of annual Verbena, different colours. (purple, pink/white eye, white,... others). Oh yeah, and I also "rescued" 3 more Alyssum. =)

First pic: The Columbine. These are the last of her blooms.. for now. She's one of the Biedermeier Mix. I realized yesterday that, even though pink is my favourite colour, the only pink I have growing is my Paeony. Had to fix that. :)

Hence, Pic 2: The Old Fashioned Bleeding Heart. She's not blooming yet, but I look forward to it! =)

These babies are gonna all get installed today; these 2, all the babies for the hanging basket, and the 1 Hydrangea that I rescued from work 2 years ago. Can't believe how that thing keeps coming back, even in her little pot. Time to put her in the ground beside the "shady benches" today. Wheeee!! =)
