Thanks Billy - we love it here. We're very secluded.

My lobelia reseeds itself pretty well, but last year I put it into the experiment pots for winter sowing. So far nothing, but it's still early. I've really gotten hooked on pulmonarias - I think I'm up to eight or nine different kids. Same with the toad lilies. I got my first one two years ago, and when I saw the blooms that looked like orchids I was a goner. I put in more the last year, and two already this spring. I've had decent luck with delphiniums, campanula, and veronica in part shade. A little less sun seems to help keep the delphiniums from getting too leggy. I also really like tradescantia - it get's dappled light through the bulk of the day, and that seems to be enough. The pic is tradescantia Bluestone and Osprey. What is Pale Blue Monkey Flower?
