I always like to include critters in my photos, too. What is the last plant you showed? It reminds me of liatris, but I'm not sure if that's what it is. <br /><br />I am also planting more and more native plants in my front yard. I found a plain phlox pilosa with no other name with it Friday. I put a cage around it right away so the rabbits can't get to it. I'm afraid they are going to have a feast in the spring, because many of my plants are their favorites.<br /><br />I hope your son gets a great job dong what he went to school for, and that you are feeling better.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-65203576864186517862011-09-26T20:51:11.781-05:002011-09-26T20:51:11.781-05:00Cameron, That's so cool~I can't wait to re...Cameron, That's so cool~I can't wait to read it.<br /><br />Dave, There's nothing like the smell of fields of wildflowers to take me back in time.<br /><br />Rose, Maybe I can send you seeds?<br /><br />MMD, Isn't it amazing that the European gardeners appreciate our wildflowers more then we do!<br /><br />Cindy, I can't remember their names either!

We start the season here in New England with yellow forsythia and yellow daffs and end with goldenrod and those harsh Susan's with their cheery brown eyes. I imagine this is much the same as at C & L with just a few week's difference in bloom time. I must walk in the back field today to check for other possibilities.
