Oh, that's lovely, I wish that was in my garden.

It's huge, 10' high and at least 18' wide. It's on the road where my office is, I enjoy watching it every spring. This will be the last year, tho...they are widening the road and it will be torn out. :~(

Can you salvage me a piece of it if they are tearing it out please.

Thanks,

I can try. It's creating seed heads now. I stopped and asked the farmer if it was ok for me to take the pic...he was a very sweet old guy. I bet he won't mind if I come by to snag some seed.

Okie dokie. Let me see what I can do. I'll check and see if they're ready. We can work the rest out later.
