Plants grow differently in different soils, and may be smaller in windowboxes than they would be in the ground. Also, you may have run into the problem of common names--thy're not consistent. I was recently asked for help with a novice gardener's "ladyslippers.". She said they were pink and I told her that she hadn't a chance of a snowball in hell of keeping them alive and that they had probably been dug from the wild. Turned out she was talking about some small daisy=like flower (I never saw her plants, we were just talking), and knew them only as "ladyslippers."

Thanks for the extra info and link woodyoak... -bekcgarden, here is what I do: Upload your pic from your camera onto your computer. Set up an online picture hosting account (many sites are free). I use Photobucket, but Picasa and picturetrail are some others... Upload your desired pictures from your computer onto the site. To post a pic here you need to copy the HTML code of the uploaded picture. In the Message box here (where you write your post) paste your HTML code into the text wherever you like it. It will come up only as a series of letters and numbers. It isn't until you hit 'Preview Message' that you will see your picture. Good luck! Hope to see some pics of your flax ;-) PS. if you need any extra help with uploading pics feel free to email me... CMK

Hi, I would like some of your blue flax seeds. :) I have seeds for parsley, cantaloupe, squash, corn, nasturium, spinach, as well as those listed on my trade list. Please let me know if there is anything you would like. If you have any more chamomille I would like some of that too. Thank you. :)
