Don't know why I was leaning on the orange fall color before but the pattern I see in my area is a strong pink appearing at least in the beginning, producing a pink-and-yellow pattern. One of the older, as far as it goes specimens I see regularly is very yellow in the summer. It is on the south side of a building in a cool climate. I remember is as going primarily pink in the fall, guess I'm just about to see what it does this year.

Hi Jeff, great to see you are joining the group. I have very little to offer since my gardens are only on their second year but mostly wanted to attend for the socializing. Quite a few of us met last year at Deb's house for the swap. We are glad to have you aboard and I think with Signet hosting, we are in for a real treat. She's going to show us "Hosta Choice Gardens" near her home but even better we get to see her vast array of plants she has collected and nurtured. As for me, I don't know that I have anything you might like but if you have an extra Kentucky Coffee Tree seedling, I'd be happy to take one off your hands. Just an aside Jeff...I'm still hoping for those bladdernut seeds to sprout. My wintersowing didn't do well at all and those pots that did sprout are only just sprouting now so I really don't see the benefit of doing the wintersowing at all. Barb

Certainly have staghorn sumac.....yes, we find it weedy here; but I try to recall that the definition of a weed is "a plant out of place." What would suit you, in terms of amount & size?

Thank you gardenfullofswallowtails, I will definitely be checking that website out tomorrow. Tom123_gw, I'm looking for plants that can tolerant part shade/ sun quite well. But I do have a small area of land that would receive full sun too. I recently purchased a few seeds from a local nursery but that's as far as I've gotten. In looking to attract cloudless sulphurs it any sulphurs really, black swallowtails, E. tiger swallowtails, pipeline swallowtails, etc and monarchs and others as well. Iris Stoiser, thank you so much. I would love to come by in Spring if its no trouble.
