Coleup claimed all the dug up Stellas....Good riddance!
I have 2 more smaller clumps left....still in the bed....anybody want more?

I will plant a couple of the "Snow Orchid DL" in their place.
I hope they look as nice as the pic. on the pot...a nice lavender bloom.

let me Google these......Looks like the 1st picture matches the color on the pot.

We still have some of these clearanced--$3. I think I will bring one for the gift table--
Anyway--it should look better than Stellas... not that they are bad--but in 3 years,
the clumps become so root-bound that they stop blooming. Just leaves...
That's all I need--more leaves in my beds.....YECH!

Here is the YUK bed corner I will be tackling...hate to even think about how to
get it to some level of plantable....
Today, all I did was dig out some plants and the Stellas from there--it was a bit warm--
my body needed a rest from yesterday.
The rest of the week will be hotter and hotter....in the 90's on Sunday.
Of course! it always is. That is the day I work....and water...and water....

Tomorrow AM--I am going to my daughter's house and digging up as many
Pink Evening Primroses as i can. You should see them! They are invasive!
They are growing all over her front bed...

Aina and Mark flew to Myrtle Beach to visit Dad and Susan. He is not doing
too well lately....They left Thursday--and will be back Monday. I'm playing Chauffeur..
