What a great time! Thanks SO much having us, Kassia! I stopped over my parents' house on the way home, and I was raving so much about it that my Mom, who isn't particularly fond of going anywhere, is all excited to try to go next year! I've potted everything up, and they look great! I'll be planting them this weekend....somewhere.

Question: there was a varigated plant, looked like a shrub (not hosta), put in tissue and baggie. What was that again??

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

I'm nine!

Drumlin, how great that your mom is excited to go next year! Wheeee! Do you have a picture of the plant you're talking about?

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Okay, I finally downloaded my pics. Here's Celeste unloading some rugosa roses. I took one. I have the perfect spot for it. I'll have to move a russian sage, but that's okay.

Hi Celeste! Wow, it was so great meeting you.

I loved this pot of Kassia's. It was probably 12".

and now a few shots of Kassia's garden. I was too busy talking. I didn't take nearly as many pics as I wanted to. Everywhere I turned on the entire property, there was something beautiful to look at. Oh, I could spend a week there and not get bored.

Jen, it was right behind you when you were posing for the pic with Nance and Sue. It was behind some chairs. Maybe that's why you missed it.

What is this? It's color was much more vivid in person.

Is it a thyme?

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

This one just blew me away.

I dunno Jen. Kassia would know, ya think?

One spectacular flower after another...

Fer sure!

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

I could've spent a lifetime taking pics in Kassia's garden, but it was getting late, and I had to go home. Last one.

is indeed creeping thyme...very good Jen!

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Jen, I'm not sure, but I think they're the canterbury bells from Sherrie.

Questa, NM(Zone 5b)

Oh, hey! Thanks Jen for IDing the thyme and Celeste for confirming!

Canterbury Bells- cup and saucer mix Campanula medium Biennial.
Keep in shade till fall then plant to permanent Sunny location 18" apart.

If you can keep them in the 3" pots till fall they will be fine. If you want a bigger pot that is fine. They are fed and if you want to put some miricle grow, every so oftern it wont hurt. Just keep em watered.
