Hi,
Do you have any heliotrope for trade? My full list isn't up by the way if you wanted to look at it.

I am sorry, but I have none for trade at this time. I will let you know when I do, however.

I read your profile and you sure have your hands full! :o) It is wonderful that you have found some time in your busy schedule to garden. I gained my joy of gardening from my grandmother too as well as from my mother and father.

Grandmas have a way of instilling some pretty darned good habits in young girls!! :-D I know I sure miss mine...she passed away 2 years ago and some days I still can't believe she's gone. I wasn't much of a gardener when she was still here....she'd be so proud of me now! I always think that we'd have so much to discuss if she were alive. Heck...never mind talking - we'd be trading and sharing plants and seeds!!!

As for the hectic life I lead...gardening is my joy amidst the madness! That and my darling Leah my garden helper!!

I am sure your grandmother is still with you and is proud of you. What a wonderful photo of your Leah. It reminds me of my daughter when she was a little. Thank you for sharing.

What a beauty htop! I really like this one - I have one from our Iowa Roundup this spring and it is lovely - wish it was a perennial here too!

Hopefully it will overwinter here in Zone 8b if we have a mild winter and I protect it well. I have never planted one before this one. Thanks for your comments.
