Thanks for the comments on the garden. That pics a bit old and I have posted it before, but I think it's pretty too. The garden actually looks like h--l now, but there are lots of butterflies visiting it! They like that verbena bonarienses . (Chuck--try some of that to put with your zinnias!)

I guess that's a blue spruce in the back. It's maybe 30 or 40 feet tall. A handsome tree. And it is pretty blue. The yellow daisies are rudbeckia hirta 'prairie suns'--probably not the best BF nectar plants, but I think they are pretty and an AAS Award Winner...I am trying to save seeds for them and will share around if anyone wants to try them.

I posted a new thread about the Host Plant Seed Exchange asking for comments. So between now and when we get it going, be sure to save lots of seeds-- particularly milkweeds--so we can get the whole world growing BF gardens! LOL Thanks for your offers of help.

If you post on other forums --- perennials, annuals, regionals, wintersowing, etc., and want to mention the idea and link to the above thread, that might be "a good thing" as Martha would say....

It's a beautiful day here. Lots of butterflies out!
