Yes 200 containers was a lot to start (addicting) with but I might top that this year lol I still have some trading left in me to do and then I go outside...."well i might as well try some native flowers there to add some color" or "well there's a space to put something else". I also told myself "no more weeding hills" but here I was weeding the one hill to try and stick some Oxeye daisies and Joe Pye Weed on. Last year was planning to take over the hills/gardens from the weeds and revitalize them with new seedlings and plants. This year it is about filling in, rearranging, making a few veggie raised beds, and..just more flowers. Plus theirs friends and family to give too! Many seedlings are spread throughout the hills and gardens(I can't wait to see the potential of them next year) but I also did lose some of them because I wasn't quite sure of growing conditions or I was hopeful that delphiniums would survive on hills with weeds...but lesson learned in a big way!!! sandyslopes, I have not attempted foxglove because I've been afraid honestly. I read an article once floating on the internet with several accounts from "real" people about allergic reactions and bad experiences. have you experienced anything harmful about the plant while you've worked with it? I love the blooms....especially Alba ~Michael P.S. I would also love to know the name of that yarrow in the pic!!! (?) I also WSed white yarrow which I cant wait to see bloom! It is one of my favorites!

Nice Steve - I have never dried spring flowers to use later - I like that idea, and I didn't know yarrow could be dried at all. I especially like those poppy seed pods and the reddish grass tassels in your arrangement. In my vase - I think the Dahlias in the center are McAllister's Pride and Touche and there is a Ginger Willo pom. There are lavender and white Tower Asters, a few Zinnia, Black Dragon Coleus, Angle Wing Begonia, a spike of Liatrus, some of a similar sedum to yours, (but before it turned red), and nasturtium vine. I had a lot of nasturtium growing last year, and really liked using it in arrangements. It held up much better than I expected it to. I know this one is a bit of a crazy mish mash of flowers. I think the reason I am drawn to it is that I had never used so many different textures all together before. Here is another one with nasturtium, not a very balanced arrangements, but I love the linear nasturtium. The red Dahlia is Dana Iris, the purples are NOIDs, there is a green envy Zinnia in the back and some of the same sedum.

This is probably gonna earn me some coal in my stocking, but I'll risk it. This game is open to everyone. Here are 30 song titles, and your job is to be the first person to correctly post all 30 titles. Each day I will post an update with 1 letter of the alphabet in its correct place within the titles, so be checking back here daily! The first person to correctly post all 30 titles in their correct order will win a music CD with all of the songs on it. There will be no second prize. Anyone involved with this swap, excluding only myself, may try to win. So, get out your thinking caps, play yourself some Christmas music, and have fun!!! I'll be back with the letter "w" tomorrow!
