I'm sorry for the long delay in posting on this thread. It's been a busy month so far.

Gosh, Dee, I'll take a look at the GeoSeed website again. I'm having a hard time reading the catalog on-line. I'll see if I can get better resolution with my Kindle.

Glad to hear the MW survived, but sad that it won't bloom this year. :-(

We'll try again on the impatiens. I have a couple of new colors I'm hoping will reseed.

I have some photos I promised to post of the b.fly site, that I took this past spring.

1. Approaching what I hope will be the entrance to the BEES. I just started clearing this area of the dead branches. This series of photos was taken on March 3rd, 2014.

2. This shows the pathway, just to the right of the BEES, and Grandmother Oak is across the creek and straight ahead. I want to clear the area a bit of dead brush and plant native plants and flowers in this area. on the right in this photo. I plan on keeping most of the native plants that are already there, and hope to reintroduce more natives that the b.flys like.

3. This shows the future site of the koi pond feature. I'm standing in the creek bed, so we are almost at eye level in this photo to the ground. It will be self contained, with no outlet to the mostly dry creek.

4. Same thing as the previous photo, but at a different angle.

5. Sitting on my favorite bench. I've already come farther this year with the site, than I thought I would. Your support really helps.

That's it for this post. I do have more photos to post though.
