Joannabanana... love the alpine strawberries! Are they as flavorful as our native ones? (I guess they might be the same species as one of our native ones, Fragaria vesca...?) They make a lovely groundcover.

Echinops tschimganicus... not really as showy as the blue ones, but it would be nice to add a silvery effect in a planting, I suppose. (Ha, after talking about bees and echinops, I opened this photo and thought, "What gives? No bees?" But I zoomed in and did find a couple of shy ones... hiding from the paparazzi, I guess.)
