I'll have to try finding Mini Pearl. Saw your photo of it and like it. I've killed a lot of phlox. Katherine did have a very small amt of mildew by the end of summer last year. This year I pinced off about half the stems to get better air flow. I don't spray them. Maybe should.

The only other tall phlox I have is David the good old reliable standby white in the garden when you need it.

Here are some monster-sized hollyhocks, next to DH who is 6'1" (and his sis). Unless it's all the rain, I have no idea why they're so tall.

Wonderful show Jo Ann. Is that a blue veronica in the first shot? Sure is a pretty one. I like you comment about wanting it to look like that in Jan. Me too! Wonderful blue Iris and your pots are doing great.

Here's a hibiscus growing in a pot.

Don't you just love flax? They look so sweet with their little blue heads waving around.

Had a few visitors for a garden tour

The older folks took a seat in the shade and enjoyed some iced tea and cookies. Little ones quickly found the tree swing and a big pile of dirt on play on.
