Hi Neal, I'm here now -- was busy off doing stuff for the family.

Love, love, LOVE your pictures, people! I want some of everything I'm seeing, which is why these threads & posts are so bad for me...I can see me looking for Echium seed and Kangaroos Paws and/or getting totally off what I have planned by seeing the pastel garden....which would be disastrous since i have 1000s of seedlings in the basement!!! OMG! Can you imagine if I started in on pinks and pastels with all the reds and oranges I have going?

Neal, Yes, I like the hot colors, and yes, I have a couple things I am doing this year. Funnily, one is Tabasco's from 2 years ago. LOL! (The one with the short orange Cosmos, the Prairie Sun Rudbeckia and Mexican Hat.)

Then there is one from Karen, also from Cinty, Showing Prairie Sun Rudebekia, Purple Verbena bonairensis and Red Emilia. (I think that's all that was there, I have to find the pic.

Then there is this one from TNN I want to copy for the shade. THIS IS NOT MY GARDEN, it's a combination I want to copy from plants I am buying from Fairy1004's Perennial coop in the coop forum.
