Tammy, that looks like mine. I say I'll thin it out, but just like Hesperis, it makes a beautiful show, and there it is for another year!

Another plant I was thrilled with is a lilac colored Penstemon. Called Large Flowered Beardtongue. Penstamon grandiflorus. I got it from Ion Exchange. They have a website. They do a lot of wild, wildflowers. I get my Monkey Flower and Cardinal Flowers from them. They aren't as lilac as this. It's a subtle cool color just above white. This was taken with the practice digital, so I need a better photo next year.
