These are my best shots. I was going to school so I didn't get much.      |

| Hello Bonita, I got the Iris from HD 2 season's ago, I posted it on the Iris site, no identification as of yet. The orange flower above is "Tithonia Torch" is a butterfly magnet it will be a main stable in my gardens to come. I'm wondering where is everyone we usually get a lot of beautiful pictures posted. |

| lupinus 'my castle'-- |

| I also had great luck with foxglove and lupines last year and am waiting for them to bloom this year. I gave lots away to my friends and I have planted more this year. Delphiniums are the only things that did not germinate but I am trying again this year. Columbine and tall verbena were also a success. I am looking for new things to try and some alternative seed varieties that are not found in the stores. |
