Linda Wallace Zone 8b Washington replied to Charmaine Gill's discussion 'Lupine' in the group Perennials
Hi Charmaine:
I wish I had a good answer from you. I know Lupine is easy to grow from seed, as I started some this year (from a packet). What I am trying is tying a plastic bag over the seed pods so that they ripen and fall I can catch them.…

Page, my butterfly bush is a Buddleia (or Buddleja, I have seen it both ways). Anyone else have experience with this plant?
Linda Wallace Zone 8b Washington commented on Garden-Share's group 'Roses'
Hi Jackie:
i just bought three of the carpet flower roses this year, and am very excited to see how they do. I read in a magazine that they are similar to Knockout in terms of being easy and long blooming. They recommended planting it on a sunny…

Linda Wallace Zone 8b Washington commented on Lori-ann Matteson's group 'Fragrance gardening'
A big contributor to scent in my yard are butterfly bushes. I think of them as summer lilacs, as the blooms are similar, and the scent fills the garden. However, just like lilacs, they can get very large. I prune mine up as small trees.

Fragrance gardening
I am creating this group for all of those who love to enjoy the serenity of sitting outdoors and taking in the intoxicating fragrances that can be experienced with fragrant plantings.

They r fragrant but need to b planted in groups of 3 or more as the fragrant is not what I call strong.

Stop by and say Hi!

Erich Shelton said… - Beautiful hellebore shots. Nice photos.
I am not familiar with the Donkey Tails Euphorbia. When you say they are poisonous, what exactly does this mean? Are they poisonous to humans and how is the poison transmitted? Deadly or just very ill reaction. I'm curious, just in case I decide to plant one for my pesky neighbour who often glares at me whenever I'm gardening! I wouldn't want to kill him, but perhaps I could offer it to him as a "Peace Offering!"

Robert Fairfax said… - Thanks for the praise, Linda.
I do work hard for that effect; I take advantage of my art background and apply the same principles to the landscape as I would to a painting.
