Hi Tiffy, What beautiful Lupines!! I found some old seed last year (1999), summer sowed them, and planted them out in my front garden bed. The wild cats destroyed them all over the winter (used it as their bathroom), so I hawe re-sowed them, as well as some from a neighbour's garden, so I hope they will survive. They are supposed to bloom in their first year but I did not have a space for them early enough. I have only had them bloom once, long ago - they were red and lovely. Then I had to go back to work and that was the end of gardening until now. So your mystery plants were Dame's Rocket. I still have a few of my white one's left and I just went out to smell them. I never knew they were fragrant. I sniffed a purple one and it had a different scent. Imagine not knowing this and they've been there for 25 years!! The things in my yard are not Dame's Rocket. They are not setting buds, and the ones left in the container are turning red, so I guess they're dying. No flowers must mean a horrible tap root or runners. Better get them out soon. It has turned very cool (13 degrees today) and rainy - it's still raining now so I haven't done anything but direct sowed some Lavatera. I will have to brave the rain and complete my planting out by the weekend. Lovely pics. Northerner.

Rina, It is just a plain plastic strip with a lable from a lable maker. Dennis gave it to me with the plant. Strange that it is larger and harder than my other Asclepiads. Almost like deer horns. First for me. And I really like it. Was said to smell like oranges and it has a beauitful orange flower. Stush

Everything is beautiful! I love these plants, thanks for posting these! I have a few but they are not blooming right now. I call them my Sinkies. lol.. I posted a link to a web site that has 100's of these to look at that may help you with ID's. Its at the top of the forum. Hope to see more. :-) JoJo

Hi all, thanks for commenting. I really like that first iris, always have a thing for the really dark ones with intense color. And I like the second one that I think is Private Eye. These three are showing color, but I found several new ones with scapes today...Philistine Champion (thanks Rita) Ledgewoods Pansy Eye, Intelligent Design, stc...Season is fast approaching. kay
