Yikes, Kathy! I guess you don't need a box from me, lol...

Wasn't this your garden club weekend? How did that go?

Big surprise this morning- one Lupine The Chatelaine started this winter has buds. I'm thrilled because the parent plant, which was from seed a few years ago, looked like it bloomed itself out last year. It's a gorgeous pink so I was sad not to have it-- and now I do :-). Pic is from 2012..

Another nice surprise is that two of the new pink Platycodon Perlmutterschale seedlings had double blooms. Judging by what happened last year, the plants that bloomed as seedlings didn't re-bloom until very late in the summer, and the seeds didn't mature. So the new plants are in the garden with the one from last year, which came back very strong. So this year I should get good seeds. (Pics 2,3)

Angelica Archengelica finally made a patch, It's a biennial, took about 4 years to get enough of both one and two year plants. (5)
