mauryhillfarm, Thank you so much, I do love taking flower "portraits"
And I enjoy walking across that bridge! But I am also afraid of walking on it
too much and damaging it.

Willowwind2, Katye: Helianthemum it is! Those close ups look exactly like mine.
The strange thing this year is that the orange one starts with yellow blossoms at the top,
the turns light orange, then dark orange as it moves down the plant. Could this be a
difference in soil from one side of the plant to the other?

mauryhillfarm, Willowwind2, Katye: Hebe, of course! I knew the leaf pattern looked
familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. It is a small, low growing variety that is
practically buried by vinca and foxgloves. I will definitely rescue it because those
tiny white blossoms are just too pretty. Thanks for the ID!

Poochella, Oh, I am so sorry about your pygmy. Mine are so sweet and loving,
you must be experiencing such a loss. How old was it?

I love pale yellow blossoms, like the moonbeam coreopsis, so a pale yellow aquilegia would be swell.
Just save a few seeds for me, please. I have a white one that has amazing chartreuse variegated
leaves, and is my absolute pride and joy! I have babies finally coming up this year.

Here's a shot from earlier in the Spring before it let loose, I'll take another one today.
