Thank you for the kind words. Sarah, the little white flowers are annual paludosum daisies from seed. I'm already starting to tear them out as they succumb to age and mildew. I have not found anything to replace them with for the summer- I try to plant little white vincas, but they do not thrive here like the daisies. Renee

She's absolutely the most precious rosebud of all. I do remember you posting the photo of your first daughter wearing this dress and the story of it, it's a wonderful tradition you've started. Congratulations again. Leslie

I planted all my bigger rosette types in this front patch at the beginning of this year. They seem really happy here :) Palmsandsnow that was what it was labelled as when I bought it. Might not be the case though :)

Have you tried the 5 gallon bucket, sunflower seeds, and gang plank cure? Fill a 5 gallon bucket about half full of water. Sprinkle large, in shell sunflower seeds on top of the water to one seed width depth. Place about a 3' piece of 2x4 lumber angled from the ground to the rim of the bucket. The chipmunks flock to the scent of wet sunflower seeds, climb up the gang plank, and jump onto the sunflower seed feast only to find it a water trap where they struggle to get out, but can't and drown. It works very well in clearing out chipmunks. Chipmunks also can carry the lime disease tick. Moses
