Stunning! When did you start the penstemon? I've tried it before but I think I started it too late because it never bloomed.

Thanks all. I think I started the penstemon Mid March. These are all from seed. Shockwave Blue Denim, Opera Supreme Pink Morn, Limenchello Yellow, Brachome Daisy, Alternathera and BacopaThumb of 2010-08-17/Joannabanana/287997

So well planned! I really need to start doing that more. The zinnia is so nice, I've always liked the cactus types. Do you have a picture of the fleabane?
