I hope the "refugee" continues to perform better. I'm really into coneflowers myself, and I like all the "garish" new varieties as well as some cool wild cultivars. Once I'm done collecting seeds and plants, I'm hoping for at least 20 varieties! Gotta keep my pollinators happy, y'know? :)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-71905585918432993492008-08-03T10:55:00.000-05:002008-08-03T10:55:00.000-05:00They are really neat little flowers- I love the ha...They are really neat little flowers- I love the hat and I hope you let them grow- see what happens next year!kesslerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941318128033074562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-56963524757552810062008-07-31T12:27:00.000-05:002008-07-31T12:27:00.000-05:00I have heard that it takes a few years for this ch...I have heard that it takes a few years for this characteristic to show up. I have a plant, purchased 3 years ago, that is only this year having petals forming out of the center cone on some of the flowers. I hope to post a photo when they are more complete. So maybe patience is the key with this one?Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539232387597508849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-48375546821831410022008-07-30T14:05:00.000-05:002008-07-30T14:05:00.000-05:00I'll wish you luck with the selection process, Mr ...I'll wish you luck with the selection process, Mr Brown Thumb, but the fancy coneflowers don't appeal to me, although I do like the white varieties. I wonder if the bees find the extra petals annoying? <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-22505396911727484132008-07-29T07:30:00.000-05:002008-07-29T07:30:00.000-05:00I like odd forms but that is just going too far fo...I like odd forms but that is just going too far for me. I'll stick to bees on the cones :)<BR/><BR/>One of the problems with big box stores is the stress that the poor plants go through getting there and afterward.

Nut i have found some fabulous deals on Elderberry bushes, and closeouts on many plants. But In a town with no nursery (Since seatac airport decided to close the only on we had to build a third runway)I finally found two!One has veggies starts and such that come from a local grower! The other is just for flowers and non edible landscaping!Robj98168https://www.blogger.com/profile/12449968557883132353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-86567021740978367402008-07-28T23:13:00.000-05:002008-07-28T23:13:00.000-05:00Well, you can chalk it up to experimentation!!!
