Whew! Workwork took me away for too long! Rachel, you know you are always welcome to come with your trowel. All of you are welcome to come with your trowels.

Thistle, ...... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm sure I have some incredible seeds to trade you, probably from England, if you get those Physic Purple seeds. Is that not an awesome plant??? where did you see it first? I saw it in Marina Christopher's book, Late Summer Flowers (forward by Dan Hinkley, who is now writing a column for English Garden magazine.)

Last year I started E. ebracteatum, but I lost them to the cold spring and my usual 'hurry up and get them out there' attitude. This year I will do better. I refuse to lose that many plants to cold and wet conditions again.

Yep, Katie, that's the plant. Isn't that color fabulous??

If any of you are looking for that darling heuchera 'green finch' that Laurie has and is not available here, Chiltern's has the seeds. I am currently in mid-drool with a very, way too long list of seeds I am wanting from there. I believe I have made it through the letter M in their catalog.

yes, soferdig, I believe it is true. Seed mania has set in. It's a disease.

Kathy, funny you should post about taking a photo, drawing on it, etc because that's how I'm working out my latest idea for a garden work room. This is the rough sketch. I'm doing Little and Lewis walls. I'll post on my own thread for feedback, though.
