Awesome Lori!!
and ...what's the word? almost...overwhelming, really--
Flipping through all the pictures, I found myself awestruck by the moss, of all things, because I cannot grow that either! Like some sort of displacement envy because I am familiar with moss at least...and then I got so excited by the Telesonix jamesii and I literally ran outside to check mine (it survived the winter and was looking happy between some rocks not that long ago) and found it all brown and crispy with a little hitchhiking clover undaunted.
Argh Crying and I don't know??? if it fried up with the heat and dryness, or got shaded out by an expanding aster, or got sogged out by lawn sprinkler geysers gone awry, or what--
pardon the lament--I've been agonizing over it while weeding a bit (because I grow those very well, thank you)

I am meaning to say, what a darn fine specimen you have there--wish I didn't kill mine!

and on the brighter side,
I did pick up a Lychnis alpina, and an Eriogonum on my way home today (don't know where I'm gonna put 'em Whistling but what a fun problem to look forward to)
