Such unusual textures, really lovely Dirt. More things I can't grow here but admire.
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
Well, I've never seen it grown here or available here, but it does say down to zone 3a. It almost looks like Viper's Bugloss.

thanks Alex!
I just love penstemons
some are not terribly long-lived perennials for me, sadly
they are great fun the way they migrate around in my rock gardens and group themselves sometimes
not much, I admit
