I also started substituting after retirement, and it's wonderful to be able to say "no, I can't come in today--I'm going to work in the garden":) <br /><br />Every time I come here, I see something new: I've heard of gas plant before, but don't think I've ever seen it in bloom like yours--so pretty! And I'm glad to see the Zizia doing so well for you. I tried to order some plants, but was only able to get seeds, so I'll have to wait awhile to see any of these blooming in my garden.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-66407286028746202302013-05-27T21:31:45.579-05:002013-05-27T21:31:45.579-05:00Your garden looks great!

I think you are right about putting the energy into growing roots. I am terrible at plant identification so I can't help you out there. Sorry. One of my columbine has become quite the weed as well, maybe I should start asking my neighbors if anyone would like some for their garden. I hate to throw such pretty plants in the compost pile if someone else would like them.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-41198501038227585872013-05-24T21:43:19.517-05:002013-05-24T21:43:19.517-05:00Thanks for your comment on my wildflowers.

The reason I have considered taking out the Phlox pilosa cultivar is because I am wondering if they will cross pollinate, and if the native ones die out, then there could be mixed up ones. Thanks for the encouragement not to worry about it. I keep needing to remind myself that I will never be a "purist" nor have a prairie. Even the native plants I grow are not necessarily native to our specific area. Still, I have a number of cultivars of different plants that I bought before finding the native plants. Part of me wants to take out the other cultivars, too, but I do like the plants. Plus, I have a number of plants of other origins that I enjoy growing, and do not plan on giving up. Oh, and yes, I remember Amsonia being my signature plant, and I think it still is. I have one or more in all but one flower bed, and planted 3 hubrichtiis in the curb area this spring.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-50451088444440737932013-05-24T17:39:16.664-05:002013-05-24T17:39:16.664-05:00Yes, congratulations!

The ability to have more time off in gardening season is very appealing.<br /><br />Your Phlox divaricate looks fabulous, such pretty lavender blue flowers.

Also I don't have Orange Hawkweed, which is gorgeous! I think that is False Solomon Seal or Starry False Solomon Seal that you have there.
