I love my heliopsis 'Lorain's Sunshine'. I just wish it didn't flower. I divide it every few years to put it in some dark foliage/ sunny orientation areas to brighten them. I keep my Frosty Morn sedum cut back to keep it a little bushier. It looks nice in the group of other sedums. I have a lot of the others you mentioned with about the same attitude toward them. My favorite is a forsythia, 'Gold Tide'. It is an emerald green with gold veination. Lilac 'Dappled Dawn" is new, so far so good. Red flowers. Many variegated Japanese maples - love them all. LOVE them! Dragon's Eye white pine - awesome. I can't think of others now. Euphorbia marginata I'm not sure marrubium rotundifolia would be considered variegated; but it has an overall variegated effect. The tops of the leaves are light sage green and the undersides are silvery. The leaves recurve, so you see that silvery edge. Great groundcover - needs sharp drainage. I've never seen a variegated shsta daisy...hmmmm. Christine - I have that lily of the valley you want. This is a good time of year to transplant it. I'd be happy to share; it should be easy enough to ship. Let me know.

Gosh, I'm like some of the others here, not sure if I could name everything blooming--June is such a great month--but here's what I can see out the window (too rainy to play outside today thanks to Arlene :-( ): Yarrow 'Moonshine' (my varieties of Yarrow don't seem to be very invasive, unlike the experience of some other members of the group) Yarrow 'Coronation Gold' Roses, varieties 'Tuscan Sun', 'America', 'Heritage', 'Bow Bells', 'Henry Nevard', 'Mme. Alfred Carriere', 'Simply Marvelous', 'Charlotte', 'New Dawn' Nepeta 'Walkers Low' Orange Daylilies (the roadside variety) Daylily 'Hyperion' (just started today) Daylily 'Black-Eyed Stella' Daylily 'Stella D'Oro' Asiatic Lily (I really wish I remembered what this one is; I must have not written it down, anyway, a pale pink with a cream/almost peach-colored center; I'll have to post a photo at some point) Echinacea "Sunset' Salvia 'May Night' Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' Oenthera 'Sundrops' Lavender 'Provence' Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) Lamb's Ears Perennial snapdragons (can't recall the Latin name) Sweet Potato 'Blackie' Nasturtiums Adenophora confusa (Ladybells) Various types of Dianthus Sweet William Clematis 'Durandii' Clematis 'Jackmanii' Clematis 'Etoille Violette' Gaura 'Whirling Butterflies' Campanula 'Bernice' Impatiens (white, lilac, purple) That's what I can recall without actually going out and looking.

Ok I think that we need to take a vote? Should we send to each other? By this I mean post what we have and make it a robin? Round one chose one, two 2 etc.? Or do you like the idea that plants to me and then I ship everyone the plants? As the weather is warming, I am scared there might be stress? Lets take a vote and the swap is closed to any new participants. Laura
