Thanks for welcoming me to this forum. It seems funny, after all the years I've been on DG, I don't think anyone ever did that for me before. Of course it took me a few years to venture out of the Canadian Gardening forum.

I pick a vase full of flowers about every week to take to my mother, and sometimes if I get around to it, for myself too. I am outside for so much of the time, I don't see much of the inside. I will try to remember to take a photo next time. I start most of my annuals from seed, and a lot of my perennials too. There is always something to cut in my beds and I keep some sort of cutting garden too.

Thanks for the response on the Echinaceas. I will just put a few extras in the vase and what stays wilted can be removed.

I held my breath for almost 30 minutes the other day when a hail storm passed through. Some Hostas don't look good, but still lots out there that seems none the worse.
