Thanks for the info. I should be familiar with the Rhodora since according to your range map it's in my area, but I don't! I don't know how could miss it since I usually take photos too of the wild flowers that I see, not just the birds.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-7532310650112555812011-05-31T09:02:12.952-04:002011-05-31T09:02:12.952-04:00Robin- The banner photo is GREAT!!!

I thought of you a lot as I worked through my garden this spring. I'm almost up to date - ahhh elusive state - and the key beds have all been wed and fed. Looks like some decent weather for the remaining tasks ahead next week. <br /> <br />I'm really enjoying the camassia bridging that momentary gap between the late tulips and the poppies/irises. And, crambe cordifolia is back in my good graces with four flowering stalks this year. Enjoy - what a feast.<br /> <br />ClaudiaClaudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-85633736197562111722011-05-27T19:21:17.344-04:002011-05-27T19:21:17.344-04:00These are beautiful!
