I wish I hadn't planted that Lady's Mantle so close to the grass. It was hidden for most of the summer. I always underestimate how huge those grasses get. On the other hand, the Mantle may not be able to withstand full sun, so the grass protected it from that. I planted it last spring but it never bloomed. Maybe next spring. Gardening is complicated. Especially when you're stubborn / contrary like me and garden, mostly, by the hit or miss method. I don't like to use owner's manuals.

Found you by clicking over from Kittalog! That's such a nice color. I'm looking for some new things for a part-shade garden. That mantle might work. Also, you're very lucky to live next to such a beautiful pond.
Hi JGH: Boy, it's so interesting when we find other bloggers who share so many of our interests. I've only looked at your blog for 15 seconds and already I see a huge number of overlaps: books, cooking, Obama -- and that picture of the butterfly and zinnias could have come from my very garden! Yes, I know how lucky I am to have that park next door: pond, a beaver family, geese, running path, turtles, blackberries. It's a good part of the reason that we bought this house. Now I have to get back to your blog to see what you're reading...
