I did it again - did not post my reply. Thanks about the balloon flower pic, Keith. It was an exceptional bloom in real life too. I have seedlings and they came true so far - double and blue. The gomphrena is there on my screen.
I'm with Wee on the groundhogs. As far as what lives under my shed, it changes from year to year so I'll just wait it out and see. We have a lot of fox in the neighborhood and I've found remnants of their dinners before in my yard. Unfortunately they seem to prefer rabbit and I think my favorite one just got wacked.
1. Last fall I found pink balloon flower on sale. I always admired it in other people's gardens but actually on close inspection it isn't as interesting a flower as the blue.
2 swamp milkweed
3. a coneflower that survived the groundhog - he doesn't go to the front of the house
4. Bush's Poppy Mallow
5. Zahara Sunburst zinnia with Strawberry Blonde Marigold
