Wow, thanks, Sharon, I would love anything from you. I'll think of things, too. I visited a garden friend today and that is the most fun. Don't anybody interrupt our conversation, we're talking in short hand practically! We usually bring plants and seeds to each other and then when we do the 'garden tour' she tells me, this is from you, and that is from you. Once in a while, I say, wait a minute...I never had that! hahaha

Today I brought her two little purple euphorbia volunteers and some penstamen seeds found on seed heads from the 'Ugly Plants' They were from 'Violet Dusk' and the pods were so hard, that I had to use pliers to crack them. Thousands of the tiniest seeds. I have more of those. Does anyone have Verbena bonariensis, the tall Buenos Aires verbena? Those volunteer once in a while? I love volunteers!

We have our own well, 16 gal per minute. Thank God! It was expensive to have drilled, but now it's free, eh? When we widened our driveway all my poppies had to be bulldozed, so we photographed them. :-) Nice that you have them naturally!
