I have 2 packs that might interest you. Agastache scruphularifolia (purple giant hysop) "milkshake" Verbascum Chaixii If you are interested in those let me know. I have salvia but most are red. I am interesting in your: Rudbeckia 'Cherokee Sunset' Monarda, purple Sedum 'Autumn Joy' Achillea, white yarrow Thanks, Karen

NHBabs, I've made a note to post back when the DNA test results come in. Peren, not sure of that yet, but they do have good DNA markers for the known Helenium species in the US, so the results should be informative.

Jay, both Coreopsis populations had the same narrow leaflets. I did get DNA results on a Eupatorium hybrid last season from the country's expert on that genus. He clearly identified the two parents, and also noted that there were no previous records of that hybrid. Since the plants were fertile and reproducing over a large area in two Arkansas counties, that one will probably be awarded species status and named after me once the necessary documentation is completed. Last season, I also collected leaves from several Helenium specimens that appeared to be H. virginicum. Those should be submitted for DNA tests this year. DNA analysis can easily determine ID for Helenium species, since results already exist for all of the species in that genus. If H. virginicum is confirmed, that will be pretty exciting as H. virginicum is very rare, even within its known range (see BONAP distribution map here).

They are labelled now. Sorry about that. Here's more. It's slow anyway!Verbesina alternifolia growing in more shade.Noid solidago. Not the easiest genus to grasp, and then you have Euthamia and Oligoneuron oh my!Eryngium yuccafolium, rattlesnake master.Alnus, reach out and touch it.Vernonia ssp.Just like last year. We have an abundance of Monarch caterpillars here in the east. The regenenerative capabilities of milkweeds are amazing. Always pushing up fresh, new stalks like this one. Just moved this little one to greener pastures. I was hoping for black swallowtail cats on my rue and got s few giant swallowtail cats instead. Oh well, I guess I can live with that. lol. Actually, I'm doing cartwheels! There's a storm front passing thru, and I'm bored.
