I didn't know ensign came in any color other than red or blue? and, oh I wish you could post a photo of the chocolate foxglove. I'll see if I can find a photo of it, it sounds really nice. I might even have it, there were a few seeds that I just couldn't get to planting. I like the burgundy brown types. Although I have some brownish amaranth seedlings here "hot biscuits" dying to get in the dirt somewhere!!! I was waiting for rain in order to plant more, we finally got rain yesterday (yahoo!)...now I just need an energy boost.

I really wanted to try get the pimpernel seeds planted but just never got to it. I'm hoping to see some photos from those who planted it.

My ws poppies from PamSue never really liked getting transplanted. A few survived and one very short one actually has a bud on it, it looks so funny with the bud because it is sooooo small. A lavender one in our backyard has a bud too and that one is at least a foot or so tall ~ I'm just hoping the dog doesn't run it over!

I did notice our Indian shot cannas just started to bloom today! I'll wait until it opens more and take a photo to post.

this is the Job's Tears with a few petunias etc. that are almost large enough to start blooming.
