  1. Your coreopsis looks great! Mine didn't come back that nicely. Is yours getting lots of sun? Maybe that's the mistake I made, putting it in a part shady spot.

  4. Great blooms in spite of your near tragic demise at the hands of that tree. Aren't you suffering from some sort of post traumatic stress? The city should pay! So glad the damage was minimal. I think I would rather have your calmness around in the midst of chaotic conditions so, rather than a curse, you have a gift!

  5. Hey, how do you get your Penstemon 'Husker's Red' foliage to be so dark? It looks so good. That Clematis is also a luscious dark red, very nice.
