It all looks like it's coming along so nicely, Kyla! I like Little Rock--very nice idea. I also am a lavender lover! Very nice photo of the single stem and bloom--I can't seem to get my new (cell phone) camera to focus correctly on a small blossom in the foreground--it keeps focusing on whatever is in back of it. Yup that looks like an aster of some kind. It looks similar to my 'October Skies'--that light blue, almost lavender. Are the leaves aromatic when crushed? I can see the chamomile peeking out over the top!
Yay on that balloon flower showing signs of new life!
