VERY cool, Diane! I actually have 1 crocus in bloom that the animals didn't find. Funny thing is, I don't remember planting any crocuses!

My lemon swirl lantana is coming back just breaking ground but definitely coming back,, I'm so glad of that  and other plants I planted mid summer did fair then I THOUGHT had died off due to the drought and heat,,but the roots managed to be okay have come back as well. Here is my first purple pinchushion flower of the year,, ![[Linked Image]](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/2thtek2/purplepincushion21013_zpsf97b921f.jpg) tomato soup cone flower![[Linked Image]](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/2thtek2/Cornflower2013_zps9561f11a.jpg) voltage yellow osteospermum ![[Linked Image]](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/2thtek2/osteospurnmum_zpsdbe50903.jpg) I'm not removing the leaves from the fall until it stays above 50 degrees at night consistently.

Carol do you desire any of my seeds........Remember we share an care on here. dodge That would be wonderful, Barb, I have never grown Poppies..that sounds like fun. I must say though I do not think I have anything to send you in trade.  It seems, I am really poor at harvesting seeds in the fall. I do have some "Golden Creeping Jenny" aka: "Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'" growing in my rocked area that has to be moved, I could send you some of that. I keep it in a pot & it comes back every year--it is 3 or 4 years old now let me know---

I planted those seeds before it got cold,, and it rained off and on after that,, next thing I knew they were growing, didn't take long it seems.. I just barely covered them with soil. I will be saving some seeds as well. BTW Lynne,, I've tried them before but they never did anything,, Dodge's seeds must love Tx soil,, cuz grow they did,

Dodge - that's very sweet of you to offer. Not to offend, but I don't grow red flowers - it's just something I don't care for really. Would you have seeds of another color poppy? For a few years, I would get seeds from a friend who lives on the beach in NY - we have always missed her blooms, but always seem to be there when the seed pods are right for picking. Am I supposed to be putting the seeds out in the fall so they get the cold winter? Just wondering because Diane said she put hers out before the cold. I had bought a few packets of blue poppy seeds one year and again, nothing happened. I would love blue ones if you have, Dodge, as Diane mentioned in the other thread. Also, what kind of exposure do you grow them in? Sun? Partial shade? Shade?

I love that bird bath too but the birds won't come near it. I've even put a water wiggler in it but the birds nor the cats will drink out of it.
