Red Spider Zinnia.

I've already bought mine from T&M.

It's an annual, I know.

Wow, you know, I honestly don't know....

Cool flower, Echinacheamanic!

Working on my wish list...
Add this... Strike that...Rearrange order of priority...
I know most of you don't do that, but I have limited space left in the garden for additions!
Have recently purchased or placed orders for some plants leftover from last years wish list, that weren't added due to exceptional drought conditions here.

About a dozen Hosta cultivars, from 3 vendors-placed orders

Finished planting 120 Native spring ephemerals and summer blooming wildflowers, which arrived last week of Nov.

5 Camellia japonica cvs. -purchased

A Red-flowering Bottlebrush (Callistemon sp) - purchased

6 Native Azaleas - Placed order

Ilex cassine (dahoon) - Planted seed (purloined from hotel grounds, during a recent trip to Charleston, SC) Shhh!

Edgeworthia chrysantha - ordered replacement for one that was stolen!

Camellia hybrid - very fragrant flowers - ordered

Depending on the amount and frequency of rainfall, I may become brave enough to add a few more plants this year, as I'm sure there are some in the garden that have perished due to a stressful 24 months without adequate moisture.

I grew that red spider zinnia last year and loved it! I'm hoping it will reseed itself.

Here's my list (so far) for this year:

Brunnera 'King's Ransom'
Geranium 'Sandrine'
Hemerocallis 'Fooled Me'

echinaceamaniac -- i've been looking for this plant too. the only place i can find it is seneca and they don't ship to ca. where did you find it???

Joyce, Sorry it took so long to respond to you. I found Asclepias Variegata plants at the following link...

I also acquired some seeds in a trade. I will post about my experiences growing these this summer.

Phlox paniculata 'Nicky' & Phlox hybrid 'Chattahoochee' to attract butterflies.

Just have to figure out how to keep critters from eating them.

I want it all! Actually, I'll be very happy if I could find another Karen Azalea to replace the one that died two years ago. The one that survived is lonely! I bought it at Lowe's, and I have asked if they could order some so I can replace the one that died, but they are very unhelpful. I should call around to other nurseries around here now as they should be putting in their Spring orders, and see if they can get me one. Hmmm...

Karen

Here she is, the loner:

Karen - I bet you could propagate that azalea by cuttings or air layering it easily.
