I would love to trade for your Pulmonaris, Hollhock,and campanula. I have seedlings of Anisacanthus Wrightii, different Begonias, cannas, chrysanthemum pacific, firespike,Euonymus fortunel(moon shadow),hidden ginger,hisbiscus cuttings 3 beautiful ones, cuttings of my Philippine violet bush,and I have a few roses rooted, lots of hydrangeas. Let me know, I can names others. Waiting to hear, djune/Donna

I have the Brunnera (Siberian Bugloss) as plants! Tons of it as soon as they wake up in the spring. We can do a trade then if you like. LMK

Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate all the input. gardenweed - thank you for that extensive list of suggestions! I have a lot of researching to do! To the very far right of the picture, under my cheesey purple-spray-painted container, is a nepeta walkers low and love it. I think I might move a heliopsis clump over there... we'll see. I've been thinking about an agastache and lady's mantle. I have a cushion spurge in front and absolutely love it. Definitely have lots of things to look into! Barb - I love the look of that Caryopteris. Yours is beautiful! Donna - I have sooo many May Night Salvias... would you believe I never thought of them!? Ha! I could easily use some here. I absolutely love them (and meadow sage) Dee - I have plenty of both daffs and grape hyacinth bulbs (not sure on the specific daffodil name) The only problem with the GHs is that the baby (the one on the deck) likes to dig up the bulbs... Hardly ever does any bad digging or plant eating but he had a FIELD DAY digging them up last fall. He actually dug them all up, I just collected them. This spot gets about 6 hours of sun but sometimes trees and the deck create shady spots. I'm hoping to move the phlox I have away from the deck so it gets more sun. I also didn't pinch them back as I should have (I guess?) so I'm hoping they wont need to be strapped up next year. I'm sure the massive amounts of rain we've been getting doesn't help, either. SouthCountryGuy - I like the rudbeckia prairie sun! I've never seen that one before - very nice! Karin - I agree with the ornamental grass! I'd love some zebra grass - I love how tall and showy it is without being too distracting. That hyperion is beautiful, too! I have so many day lilies (most of which never bloomed last year because they got trampled) but what did bloom was some very plain yellow - nothing like hyperion! I will definitely be considering that one! And in my opinion, you can't do wrong with russian sage :) I've got a lot of planning ahead now (half the fun). I'll definitely post progress and how the "final" product ends up (is anything ever really final?). I'll also let the dogs all know they're cute faces are convincing.... :)

i'm putting in another pond liner. one of my two ponds has a whole in it. so i replacing that one with a new and bigger pond liner. so far i have liner, fish, pumps, filter, and those things i call water lillies. but i don't know the name of them. they's from louisiana and mostly clog up things here and there. looks like a purple with yellow details orchard. someone tell me the name. i forgot. i once tried to plant aquatic plants in the ponds but the fish have dinner and i had no plants left. i think that maybe i need to get the plants started before the fish go in the new pond. i need instructions from here. i start digging the hole for the liner tomorrow. liner is here in about a week. i am buying some river rocks to put in it , i have the pump and will figure some kind of filter. so what is next?
