    Too many. I listed the ones so far on the Iowa thread, many more to go. I share with you columbine Alpine maybe aka Montana/Rocky Mountain (looks solid medium blue) and flabellata and aconitum but carmichaelii. I didn't know they weren't hardy to my zone and planted two rain trees I ordered years ago. They didn't make it very long, and I never got to see them bloom.

    I'm sure that it will take quite some time before I will see some blooms on my golden rain trees. I can't wait to see the Aconitum bloom too. They look so lovely in the pictures. The carmichaelii is a vibrant color. I might have to put them on my want list.

    Interesting selections, some not familiar with, a few I share, not too many.

    pitimpanai, I'm indebted for you for the Prairie Smoke, think I WS'ed two pkts may have one to spare, am forgetting what's still there. Also indebted to the person who posted the link to a vendor. BTW Prairie Moon was very fast shipping, reasonable prices and everything I ordered, were out of a couple.

    Also got two of your annuals, blue eyes and Laura Bush petunias, lots of seeds in pkt for those. I have great hopes for an annual salvia I like, Farinacea Strata. Sowed most of my poppies, held a few back for spares next year and am going to try my luck with the big blue one.

    I see you're also doing bluebells. That's like jumping off a cliff for me, couldn't imagine they're hardy here and be able to WS them. Have you done them before? I had some plants I ordered years ago but failed, may not have pampered them enough.
