No time to garden with my two kids. But one flower I love is the primrose (at least I think that's what they are). They bloom happily in frost, and when the weather finally turns warm, they whither away. They are all different bright colors and I see them here in Washington a lot.

I also love deep purple lobelia planted alongside bright orange marigolds. Such a stark contrast, but beautiful.

Alice, I've never seen your website. It's wonderful! I want to have a homepage just as well organized and interesting. Good health to you.
