I just got Purple Smoke from Bluestone. Now just trying to decide where I want to plant it. I love it!

It is great! The blooms are spaced closer together on it than the regular variety. I love them all though!

I would love the Purple Smoke, but I got two 'Baptisia Australis', and two 'Carolina Moon' and one is on back-order with Bluestone. I think one of the BA died so I might go ahead and get one.

My raised backyard daylily bed. I love this bed in summer when it blooms. For spring I have some tulips in it to give some color.

Very pretty. I can't wait to see the daylilies.

Here's a Baptisia 'Carolina Moonlight.' This is the third year for this one. It was very pot bound when I bought it. It seems these are slow to recover from stress.

Susan - You are going to love these. They look so good with the purple ones. I look forward to it every year. I might have to plant some more in the back yard when I have a chance!

Thumbs up I have been reading up on things I can use for Lupine. This is the best thing I have seen, unless they come out with a red one!

LOL. I love Lupines too. I think I'll just visit Maine more often. I loved that state when I visited there. They have the best smelling butterfly weed too!

I went to the feed and seed store today and they had Sedums and Ice plants. It was starting to rain and my hands were full. I have never saw so many plants there! Maybe one day they will have shopping carts! What kind of Sedum do you have? I saw some Angelina. Green Grin!
