If it does, you can send a closeup of the flowers and leaves to <A HREF="http://www.wildflower.org/expert/show.php?id=209" REL="nofollow">"Ask Mr. Smartyplants"</A> and they can tell you. :)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-60950030071995956222008-08-18T21:58:00.000-05:002008-08-18T21:58:00.000-05:00Your blended beauty is spectacular, Christopher, w...Your blended beauty is spectacular, Christopher, with its lines blurred long ago. The imported plants were the wildlings when they started out, somewhere else in the world ...and your goldenrods and phlox and agaratina are considered exotic imports when planted in Europe. Does someone have a similar garden far away, with the designations wild and native reversed?<BR/><BR/>Wish I had a guess for Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-89069501381689115102008-08-17T22:07:00.000-05:002008-08-17T22:07:00.000-05:00I like what you said, "The line between cultivated...I like what you said, "The line between cultivated and wild is blurred."

They will have to go as my plans for that bed are Miscanthus and Chicory with Ironweed and a few other highlights.<BR/><BR/>The biennial Angelica set a ton of seed. There is four times as much of it this year as last.<BR/><BR/>Christopher C.

I love the way you describe the blur between wild and man planted, it is so apt. No wonder you have so many hummingbirds and butterflies, it is Eden. I forgot to take a photo of the giant ironweed, drat. The scene of flowers reaching for the sky over my head lives on in sweet memory.
