Hi Linnea! I hope your knee is doing ok, even without trying to garden I'm sure the recovery can't be easy!
I was hoping you'd pop in here, as I was researching Crocosmia and came across an old thread of yours on GW! Did yours ever come up?
I first tried crocosmia from a box at Menard's with no sprouts, then last year I ordered two kinds from Brent and Becky's. By July I'd given up on them and bought some potted ones, plus some babies from Ebay. The potted ones bloomed and were gorgeous and the ebay ones seemed to do well. But I haven't seen anything from any of those plants... but one of the patches from Brent and Becky's has sprouts!!! I'm still hoping that the other plants will pop up at some point, it seems ridiculous for them all to die, but there isn't enough info out there on when I should give up hope.
Do you have any catmint? That's blooming really nicely for me right now, so with lunaria they're a nice contrast with all the yellow.
I have some purple bearded iris for you, and do you want some purple siberian iris?
Woodland-wise I have Starry False Solomon's Seal, which in heavy shade looks almost the same as true SS. In sunnier spots it's shorter and looks a tiny bit like toad-lily
I have geranium Bill Wallis but I've brought that for a few year,s you may already have it.
I'd love some of your columbines and maybe some lunaria seedlings again. I haven't gotten any to survive the transplanting yet
