They're making a mess of my flowerbeds. They're so cute and lovable, but oh the damage they have done already. Today they broke off one of my lilies. Here's a pic of them looking so sweet and cute. They're 2 months old. The one on the left is Toffee and the one on the right is Zipper, the middle one we're not to sure what to name her, she is gray with white paws.

Mia got her name from her talking all the time. She almost looks like a Zoe to me.

My first white coneflower of this year opened fully today. (Wrennie - I saw a few more babies underneath this plant so hopefully they will be white - you won't know until next year unfortunately...)

Loz, I love hydrandeas too but mine hasn't done anything for 3 years now. It's a Annabella one which I'm told should be cut back in spring, which I did but now it's coming in so slow. I'm kind of worried nothing will come of it this year. I know it's only June but..... Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Talk about bright colors - eye popping! Wrennie - I was wondering what all the yellow flowers were in my neighborhood - now I know thanks to you! I am only familiar with the pink evening primroses! And that lupine - I'm also jealous - the one time I tried growing them here they didn't take.

Just a question though. Triss what you call Lychnis and Wrennie calls rose campion look the same. I have that plant here as well and thought it was called Mullien. Are they all the same plant or a variation? ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

The flower, yellow is a spike that come up out of a rosette of fuzzy leaves similar to lambsquaters see mullein In the back of my mind i think there are other types of mullein rose campion and lychnis are the same thing rose campion
