Now I feel like I get to extend the celebration with you and Frances! I love blue-eyed grass, and have some growing here. I'm hoping it will set seed so I can propagate some more. I really like the Salvia lyrata too, but then again, I've never met a Saliva I didn't simply love!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-65336038005268796782011-04-25T11:27:04.739-05:002011-04-25T11:27:04.739-05:00Yes, I'll join you later in the week.

If we would get just a ray of sunshine I think the phlox you sent me last year will bloom. It has some buds sitting there just waiting for the right movment to open. I am so excited. I have tried blue-eyed grass. It didn't last for me. Hmmmmmm Maybe one of these monsoons took it out.
