I, too, start to feel a little funny about my garden (myself) after spending time in botanical gardens. <br />The photo of the field of poppies is breathtaking. The prairie smoke looks like it will be a nice addition to your garden. I bet it looks like magic when it's blowing in the wind.<br /><br />~KarritaMy Mother's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650111954885067729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-53478020956330565922009-06-05T20:37:03.443-05:002009-06-05T20:37:03.443-05:00I too like the Prairie Smoke very much.
