new list of plants
'Purple Smoke" Baptisia Australis is on my list, and I just got Echinops 'Ritro" today...I have a long list! Many more to get :)
I wanted to put the common names but I could not find them my list is big also what is your list ?
Don't laugh! Here it is....This is my huge list - a lot of it I put in last Fall...We took out our entire backyard, and re did the soil and made it all grass free. This list terrified me when I first saw it :) I told my landscape designer I wanted Butterflies, and hummingbirds, native & adapted plants for Texas, and an English Country garden - Texas style! You can see the first photo on the photo page under "New Garden". I will take one to post an update when it fills in as well.... .

Can't wait to see pictures when it fills in! It will be beautiful.
wow what a list how big is your yard?
I would estimate it to be about 1000 square feet give or take. I believe our lot is 150' deep and 65' wide....We have removed all the grass, and are striving for an English Cottage Garden look using native & adapted Texas plants to attract birds and butterflies. But - the list includes plants for the front yard, side yard - as well as along the pond edge. So far we have most of the ones for the backyard planted. The front will have to wait until Fall or next Spring, depending on how much energy we have :) I will post some photos to show the progress and growth soon...
wow can not wait to see the pics
baptisia australis & Baptisia leucantha, the (white one) is on my list, I have seeds and going to cross my fingers they take off, I had a baptisia australis where I lived before, but you can't move them and my neighbors stoled the seeds! I waited two years for the seeds and the neighbors got them. I love the foliage. Are you going to start from seed or did you find the plants? If you need a plant and mine take off, will be happy to share if they get started, one pack has 15 and the other has 20 seeds. Have one of each already promised.
I think I will get the plant - I am too anxious to wait! I think I want the one called 'Purple Smoke', looks pretty nice. I'll see if I can find a photo....Thanks for offering to share - I can't believe the neighbors stole the seeds!

Here is the 'Purple Smoke' Baptisia Australis....
Yes, this is what I just started the other day and the white one, had to put it in the freezer for five days and then at temp of 70 I think, so going to put them under my lights, it says you can do that, wish me luck. I hope you can find a plant I have been looking since I moved and no one sells them here anymore.

Well update on my seeds, the purple smoke has been coming up for a while now and the white one just came up about a couple of weeks ago just one so far did you ever get your purple smoke, have one for trade?
WOW! Sound's like "Heaven on Earth" I'm really looking forward to seeing your pic's.
I would love to do some trading or something you have several plants I'm looking for ( any of your sage,Hummer's love it) Spanish Lavender, creeping phlox & creeping speedwell, oh shuck's! I want your yard...lol
Let me know if your looking for any trading
Thx, Dixiechick
shearpamela -- I don't know if you got all the things on your list, but I'm going to divide my Moudry Fountain grass this year. I have two big clumps and they are overshadowing some plants that need the sun. Let me know if you want any of the divisions.

I'm going to check your picture out, I've been wanting to see this Blue Mist Shrub, I sent to Gurney's for that $20 freebe thing got 4 things and this is the only thing I havewn't gotten, bet I don't get it lol It sure looked pretty in the picture, they are common there? I've never seen one here, if I did I didn't know it. You just have to take a sep. picture for me and post it please, Please, Please :-) I think I'm gonna like this. Sounds like you have a lot of beautiful plants.
An updated photo of our backyard taken earlier this month.

Breath Taking View

I'm with DixieChick!!! Wow, Shearpamela....lucky, lucky you!
Thank you - it does feel like paradise to me! I love being out there surrounded by nature, especially in the morning. I need to be out there now applying seaweed and fish emulsion :)
It sure does look like heaven :-) Is that the blue mist shrub in front of the bird bath? Still haven't gotten mine.
I have "Dark Knight" caryopteris beside the birdbath/fountain near the house, and it is just now beginning to bloom. I had a a bug bothering it early in the Spring and that may have delayed it. It was shriveled up and looked like it was about to die, and someone at a nursery said it may be the four stripe bug....? Now it seems to be recovering. I also have purple coneflowers, indigo spires salvia, santa barbara mexican sage and gulf coast penstemmon around it.
The other birdbath has walkers low nepeta, winecup, & purple loosestrife around it.
If ANYBODY wants to do sase PLEASE let me know. With my current situation of no job and no hopes for one, I'm desperate. But you certainly have your own little piese of serenity. You go girl!!
Hugs
Tina
Tina - are you wanting to trade plants for SASE or are you looking for plants?? Confused.....
Langbr, I have nothing to trade at the moment but if you have any extras you would like to get rid of for SASE I'll take them.
