Hooray. Sherry can join the posters now. I like the picture of your bed. Nice intermingling of plants. You have the same kind of pavers surrounding yours as I do around my "display" border.....I like bold colors so Chicago Fire would be my first pick and you know I always like your Mary Todd. Good start. Looking forward to more..........Maryl

Your bed has really filled in-happy plants! Chicago Fire is a relly bright bloom. Mary Todd is always a winner. Love your Flutterbye color. Banshee Whisper has a graceful bloom.

Everything looks lush. What balloon flower do you have? Those at a friend's are so tall, and Debra's were tall too.

I love your balloon flowers! Bluegrass Memories and Chicago Fire are my favorites today. I also like the photo of Simplicity in Motion and friends.

Mantis, the balloon flowers are Astra blue. I have some in full sun and they are taller than the ones in full or partial shade. The full sun ones will get to about 16” tall here. Shade or partial shade are 12”-13”.

They will self seed if you dont dead head. I usually have a few ”volunteers” every season. The self seeded new plants are easy to transplant, mature ones are more difficult because they have a tap root.

Your bed is very artistically done, so beautiful! Bluegrass Memories is my favorite by far. Great color, love the eye, and great shape. Flutterbye and Clown Parade are also favorites.

Brad

Good to see you are posting now. I really like the soft delicate color of Banshee Whisper. Chicago Fire and Tall Dark Stranger look good! Nice post, Sherry.
