Thanks everybody for commenting. I picked up the Verbascum during Bluestone's half price sale last year. It grows about three feet tall and I first got blooms in mid May, which was a welcome surprise. Definitely a "see through" plant. I love that sedum. I planted it back in 2005 and it has just been a fantastic performer for me. I got it from T's Flowers and Things, a mail order nursery I heartily recommend. This is literally a one woman operation, owned and operated by the very gracious Teresa, so supporting her means you are supporting a small business woman. Her prices are excellent as is her selection. She sells seeds as well as started plants. Cameron, I planted three of those penstemon and that was the only one to survive the winter. I think mine also died due to wet feet. I planted the asclepias in heavily amended clay and then held my breath. It just so happened the year they were planted, we didn't get a lot of winter wet, so I think that did the trick. However, it took over three years for them to finally reach their potential. Nell, currently, the only host plant I have is the asclepias. This garden is definitely a work in progress so host plants will be my next step.

tj, thanks for your observation. Checking this morning (nice rain now) there are two eyes which have half their leaves trying to do much more white border. Looking up the Hosta Library, this could be the progeny 'Ice Follies' developing. This would be a nice separate plant in the future. I did not even realize that going on, because my eyes were overwhelmed by the lamium. I removed the lamium, and found pachysandria and weeds colonizing around and under the hostas under cover of the lamium. Now there are the hostas much better showing. Stalks of columbines will be cut back after they finished blooming. Bernd

This thread was 'shared' with the Cottage Garden, and is wonderful. First of all, Pondlily and daughter - congrats!!! What I wanted to share with you was a tradition I remember from somewhere, that the flowers of the Mother's garden were used in the Bride's tussy mussy - her bouquet. They were then rooted to grow in the new Bride's home...hope you don't mind the interruption~~ Nancy. Here is a link that might be useful: Tussy Mussy's

I bought the Abies procera 'Delbar Cascade' last year from Enneking nursery in Germany. Put on some nice growth this year.

Very nice selection of yellow conifers you planted together!
In my opinion Picea glauca 'Aurea' doesn't exist, it must be Picea mariana 'Aureovariegata'.
Can you show us a detail photo of this plant?

Very nice! That Abies koreana 'Fliegende Untertasse' (flying saucer) sure looks weird! Did it take long to 'take off' ??? T.

Great looking plants! I'm guessing you live across the 'pond'? I'd kill for half of the plants you have there and your Wiethorst specimen is awesome! :)

Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing.

'Pinus strobus 'Angel Falls' (thank you, Stephen")

That rings a bell. Good job on grafting those cuttings Stephen. The mother plant resides in my garden and would be proud.

Spruce..you will need to train up a leader to get some height. Otherwise it will be a prostrate form.
