Thank you all. Sjoerd, look harder! Wrennie, your evening primrose patch is delightful! Sherry, no, they are just greyish green, but the leaves are quite decorative on their own.
Thanks for sharing. We have a low-growing native mint that grows in wooded areas around our home. It's one of my favorite plants to find each spring...we bite the leaves and enjoy the flavor.
Yes ma'am, Droopy... Well, I did finally find a couple of fotos of the taller Oenotheras, both sorts. I did say that they weren't really good ones, in terms of showing the "special" colour, but don't you like those big, floppy petals?
Kaseylib, I hope you'll manage to find and photograph it this summer? If I can't enjoy the taste, I can at least enjoy the sight of it. Thank you Sjoerd! I like the glow in pic # 2. Your pinkish cream one looks gorgeous. I tried a similar once, but it couldn't take the winter. I get slightly aggressive when the nurseries sell plants not winter hardy and fail to inform us.
