Sounds good Lea! I've got a tiny blue veronica I planted last year from a WS seed from the swap. Its really close to the monarda, and almost got pulled up in my frenzy of controling the beast this spring! Its just starting to flower and is very pretty. Need to plant more of them for a good effect I think!

Here are some photos of the butterfly bed I'm trying to perfect. One half of is is supposed to be my herb garden, but as it was in flux this spring and I needed someplace to put a few tomato plants, its serving as a temporary veggie garden. The other half has some perennials that are starting to be a good success, but needs a lot of finessing to be right. Last year I had a Huge, gorgeous Datura there, which was weird but did give some height... but not a butterfly/hummer plant so I didn't do that again this year. What am I missing... or needing to rearrange... have time to plan now, and can do some planting in the fall here, so I'd be wise to be prepared!
