Yes! It drives me nuts but I'm going to use your idea and start saving the plants with tags until I really know the plant well♥

hummmmm looks like I'm in good company with fellow plant addits
bad thing is can't be happy with just one. So far I have 3 dasyphyllum (I think- small, larger, hairy tiny)

My main problem is zone envy. Just a bit warmer would make me happier but I'd never give up the seasons changing.

Ha! Zone envy- so THAT's the name for what I've got.

haha I like that also! I do like Seattle's gardening potentials...with global warming I'll be in zone 9 in no time...sorry kids and grand kids, ya'll will probably see zone 11 here although I guess we'll also see this crazy unpredictable weather too - rain and cold for a few days and then up to the 70's for a day or 2 and then back down to the 40's...plants are adaptable though!!

I think I am getting motion sickness after reading the end of your post Greg.

Hasn't it felt like that to you all down there? Or has it been worse in Seattle??

Yes, a week ago I was out in a T-shirt today, shirt, polar fleece and, a coat and still cold. I will have to take a picture of my Angelina, it has grown down my rock steps. I like it!

Same here. In fact the day of Kevin's open house was absolutely beautiful. No it is wind and rain.

If we didn't have those "fake summer" days, I'd be fine knowing, okay its spring here which means wet and cold, but when we have a couple days of summer I'm like - oh wow, spring is just skipping along...NOT!

Yes, mother nature likes to slap us around a bit but oh when she shines on us it is so beautiful here!
Here is my 'Angelina' steps. Looks better in high summer.

Oohh, looks great, Julia! Love Crevice Plantings!!

Spring sure it pretty!!

If you look to the left and right at the top of the step you can see were I pulled a couple of shrubs for sedum - sempervivum.

It really is pretty Spring!

Yes!...that would be great spots for semps & sedum... Oh, you are going to have fun deciding what to put there...I am envious

Julia, that is so pretty! Love the moss on the rocks too.

Funny, I hate moss, it's everywhere!!!! Thanks though.

And I'd love some and its just too dry here to grow it. Funny how we always want what we don't have!

So right Chris. I have to scrape that stuff off the topsoil is some places. Now I could send you a box full.
On one of the local channels I saw a segment of how to glue moss on rocks!
