This spring I discovered they root very easily from cuttings too. I love the trillium too - wish the other two hadn't disappeared. <br /><br />I hope your columbine makes it. Cultivars haven't done well here, but canadensis and caerulea, (Rocky Mountain blue,) and one that's a deep blue/purple seem happy here. I have tons of self-sown seedlings. Next time I see you I'll share some if you like. (don't know what they'll end up looking like - columbines are notoriously promiscuous.;) Can't promise they'll thrive there, but at least being free, all you've got to lose is a few minutes of planting time.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-56352881068893387922011-05-21T10:39:42.538-05:002011-05-21T10:39:42.538-05:00I love candytuft--mine's not quite as hardy as...I love candytuft--mine's not quite as hardy as normal this year.

I'm glad in this case patience was rewarded!<br /><br />It's been a strange spring weather-wise here. Looks like we're heading for another chilly period after the rain heading our way. <br /><br />I hope you're enjoying your (early) summer, and that you get enough rain for your wonderful garden. Have a great weekend!<br /><br />They are unusual colors MBT! Mine came from seeds - can't remember for sure if it was from the yellow or blue columbine seeds we were gifted at Spring Fling. Apparently columbines are fairly promiscuous and hybridize readily.<br /><br />I'm so happy the garden is finally looking mature - we have more blooms this spring than ever.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-5537930249953600982011-05-20T22:41:32.285-05:002011-05-20T22:41:32.285-05:00I think I have that same unknown columbine in my g...I think I have that same unknown columbine in my garden.

Pulmonarias have bee really nice this year - blooming since March and keeping the bumbles very busy and very happy. I'm so happy at least one of the trilliums finally bloomed - sure took a long time!<br /><br />JGH, oh, thank you! Yes, that's what it is! I think it's 'Waterperry Blue.' I never knew there were creeping veronicas. I love the spikey ones. This little creeper has a very special spot in my heart, being on of my friend Meg's signature plants. (It's been just over a year since she left to help take care of that big garden in the sky.) <br /><br />Sage Butterfly, that's one of my favorites for containers. I'm so glad it survived winter in the basement. It's a hummingbird favorite here. The second day it was out, I saw a hummingbird for the first time this spring.<br /><br />I thoroughly agree Victoria! Sounds like you've got a lot keeping you busy. I too enjoy the winter break. There's something to love about every season.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-42329575098144864682011-05-15T19:38:59.758-05:002011-05-15T19:38:59.758-05:00Spring is such a fantastic time of year.
