For some reason, two different astilbe plants are doing perfectly fine there despite being in full sun for most of the day!

I would have thought the astilbe needed more moisture and shade than the other too. Yet yours look great.Sarah/ Galloping Horse Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863804034201109102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903271386070223045.post-83025059011260930392014-06-17T16:27:05.846-04:002014-06-17T16:27:05.846-04:00They are in a full sun location but my soil is mor...They are in a full sun location but my soil is more clayey than sandy.

I think they've multiplied to several plants now and they've also seeded themselves in next to my sidewalk. It's probably annoying for the mailman but I love them!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101274476936267801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903271386070223045.post-258632836456284052014-06-17T11:31:56.556-04:002014-06-17T11:31:56.556-04:00It looks like everything is about to pop!

My neighbor always called them the former and my mom called them the latter.

Your photo of your Grandma's Evening Primrose convinced me I had mislabeled one of my flowers for several years now. I was never condiment of the label anyway. I was told I had Buttercups, but, after seeing your post, I now know I have Evening Primrose 'Sundrop'. I appreciate it! I corrected myself and mentioned your blog!

Oh well, I guess gardening teaches you patience :) <br /><br />I'm intrigues by your neighbor's new shed. I know you've been working in the allee, I hope you aren't going to have to redo it all! _emily_rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044004465736417388noreply@blogger.com
