Difficult to see in this pic, but it is about 7 ft. tall.

Fantastic photos! Hard to believe so many plants are blooming. The first one, Ludwigia octovalvis (Mexican primrose-willow), has "cancer fighting properties."

Horntoad, do you think we could put all your wildflower photos of different colors together? I noticed some of the yellow ones are buried on the third page as single entries. With fall coming maybe we could get them all in one thread, as well as the purple, white etc. Maybe make them a sticky or two or three? I've been trying to figure how to get them together, because some have comments. Maybe there's a way to work around that. Let me know what you think. People should be able to find them.

Yes, Josephine, I know that. Horntoad had had many of his wildflowers catergorized in Cubits also. When both of our Cubits converged over here at ATP, his posts kind of jumbled with my posts by date. I would like to see his photos together up front, instead of being buried by date. We're still figuring this out.
And by all means, we'd love to have you contribute wildflowers over here too!

Do it however you like Sandi. I had each color in it own forum on Cubits but when we merged they got broken up. I would love to see them get back organized again.

Great! I've been at a board mtg all evening. I'll try to re-group them by color. If you have an idea of the order they were entered before, could you let me know the dates and then it would be easier to put them together. I may need your help with some of the comments that might not need to be in the threads. And then we may both need Dave's help implementing our changes!

Thanks Josephine. I hope you can help us at some point. Would appreciate it.

They weren't in any particular order, just by color.
