The hummingbirds really liked it here too which is always a bonus. Your Abraham Darby rose is beautiful. I'm still feeling so happy that I found one. You are absolutely right about the scent too. I broke a blossom off during planting and walked around the rest of the evening with it stuck to my nose, it was so delicious. I think your garden (as always) looks just fabulous.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-75481742361967093182009-07-06T19:22:19.660-07:002009-07-06T19:22:19.660-07:00If that Magnus isn't the perfect shade of pink...If that Magnus isn't the perfect shade of pink, I don't know what is! Your Cupid's Dart is looking really nice- mine is so-so this year. I think I started them from seed last year. Too bad I will be moving because a few things I started from seed the last 2 years are just starting to become comfortable- and then there are the things I planted this year :). Ugh! Starting over, it is bitter sweet.Tessa at Blunders with Shoots, Blossoms 'n Rootshttp://blossomsnblunders.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-53914786780848583202009-07-06T18:52:47.843-07:002009-07-06T18:52:47.843-07:00Great new header photo!

I planted them last year and they didn't get this tall. I think they like the full, hot sun where they are. They are a great substitution for the delphiniums I haven't had luck with.<br /><br />Prairie Chicken - I'm not sure if they would grow as an annual there.
