I just picked up a couple of salvia 'Mystic Spires', too--looking forward to seeing if they handle part shade well, without completely taking over. Love the 'Dr Suess' shaped Jerusalem Sage blooms, too. And those irises... I will definitely have to add those this year.Mary Lintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442420958964677458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-58012239402481828462014-04-18T08:24:26.104-05:002014-04-18T08:24:26.104-05:00I have two puppies with Velcro fur.

Do you think there is any chance of recovery for the large golden barrel?

Some days it feels like all the "best" examples of the plants I love are growing in other people's gardens. I'm betting once your vine gets a little better established it will be another show stopper. I'm ready for the oak catkins to be history (as are my eyes and my poor itchy nose!) but I too love the trees. Great shot of both!
