Viola Tricolor varieties are usually available at most large nurseries or seed sites...

These are beautiful! I've never seen them before - they remind me of gazanias. Wish I could find them around here! They'd go perfectly in my yellow/orange gardens by the pond!

Mmmm Edible plants, always some of my fave's I knew some of them but not all, I'll have to go a sampling this year.

Thanks

It kinda took a few 18 hour days to do it..
I am getting too old for this.
I am soooo tired...

OH My Bill---one of us shoulda told you---You can sleep,- lots if ya want, any time----then when you are rested, you can work on the plant/flower stuff--- (Sorry I just could not resist)

again--very nice job--it is appreciated

Today I will just play in the gardens... ok?
I'll see if Willy needs any help with his pile of rocks...

sorry I just saw this--but hey--it sounds like a plan---& since I just saw it, I say you can do a repeat again tomorrow.

[b]Jacob's Ladder

[b]Cupid's Dart
[i]Catananche caerulea[/i][/b]

I want both Jacobs ladder and Cupids dart blue any shade is my favorite color especially if it has blue blooms.
BTW Bill your not as old as you feel I know because nobody can be this old. Take it easy I am just now getting to where I can mow 2 years after the surgery and I still have to stop and rest several times before I am done thanks to Diane I am wanting and getting more flowers and plants. She just makes you want to work outside and have plants. So glad she is my friend and keeps me wanting plants. Knowing what she has been through and seeing her pretty yard makes me want to do more.

Diane - you and Jimmy can have the cupids dart, but I want a Jacob's ladder that actually will grow here. I tried a few times a couple of years ago, but they didn't even last one season, let alone return the next year.

Jimmy - I am with you both on Diane's gorgeous gardens, and also about blue flowers. A few years ago, I bought what was supposed to be a blue-eyed grass. Well it bloomed a deep purple for 2 years and I was so disappointed that I moved it to a hidden spot in another garden.

This year, when the perennials were starting to leaf out, I decided to move it and give it one more chance. Well I am here to tell you that that same plant is now blooming BLUE flowers this year!!! REAL blue! Such a pretty shade, too! I tried taking pictures the other day, but they were all blury. Not sure how long it will bloom, but I will try again if there are more blooms tomorrow.

Guess it goes to show that one should never give up on a plant until it is really dead!

[b]Bluebeard
[i]Caryopteris clandonensis[/i][/b]

Oooh, I love these. If it ever stops raining here, I am going to plant some of these in my front yard.

I've got to find these,, On my Check list calling nursery's this weekend for sure!
I just did a Share link for Facebook getting the word out to anyone in my area if they have seen these at a nursery Let me know!
I love that we can [i]share links with FB, Twitter, etc Bill! Thank You

Diane - I have had 2 caryopteris for many years now - when they first were being sold around here there was only one variety, but the flowers are a much lighter blue. Unfortunately, we had so much snow this past winter, that the plow guy had to plow on top of where they are planted, and they broke badly. They are now first growing from the bottom, and I hope they will fill out one again.

These are so beautiful. I hope I can find some around here. Blue is one of my favorites also!
