Just love the port. Peppermint you gave me celeste ... Thanks!! The blue salvia you sure it's not the blue vine one that I gave you?

Not sure, but she NEEDS it! LOL

Nope but I have this salvia too :)

Looks like the sapphire blue

Wow....drooling over many of those photos.....I really like My Joanne....You need that one, Jo!

NICE!!!!

I had a lovely lunch at Joann's this afternoon.

Allison, you were right, the dark blue salvia is the blue viine one. :)
Here's a few more....

;)

that 1st one is cool.. nice and bright

I like the double!!

We had a great lunch.We missed you Marilyn.

Thanks, Jo & Debi...missed you as well! Pixie, that last DL is a knockout....

Thanks Celeste and Allison!

Oh, nice, Jo and Debi. Sounds like you 2 had a great time!

Beautiful pics Celeste. I love your shot of Prairie Blossom. The clump you gave me last year is doing spectacular, but wouldn't you know it, I never got any pics. I think today there may have been 2 blooms on it, the last for this year. :'-( I love Peppermint Pinwheel!!!! I also love that pink number that follows it. I also love Flutterby, Garden Greetings, Orchid Butterfly. Oh, and I love 'My Jo Ann', too! And the blue phlox is to die for! Is it really that blue?

Love the red seedling of your Mom's on the bottom row Karen! "Bertie' is really nice too along with 'Flamenco Queen' and 'Moonless Night' is a nice dark one.

I was disappointed in the zinnia germination this year.....I have only about a dozen plants from 5 packets! Jo, those containers sparkle!

beautiful Jo,
yep I'm def going to have to run out and get some annuals, gardens are not looking too good right now as a whole, there are only spots of color
Took a drive and noticed lots of huge trees with browning leaves and whole branches dead
We need rain sooooo bad!
