I've added several plants to my garden this year that I used to grow in SC but jasmine isn't winter hardy here so I'll just have to live vicariously through your garden instead.<br />As for the evening primrose, I once had to remove every plant from a bed and hand dig the runners and roots out to get rid of it.

I also love the photo of your patio, seventh photo down.

Unfortunately, my Mom is one of those gardeners who isn't really into cultivar names...she's like, "its a purple salvia I've had since 1982."

Because it has PINK flowers, I'd love to have it sprawling around my beds like it so beautifully does in yours. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting my blog. I'm sure you could grow that Straw Flower. It would probably do really well with your mild winters. <br /><br />Your kitty sillohete is adorable. She wanted to come out and play. :) As always, your photos are outstanding.GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450926564221225084.post-3299816387198399982012-04-18T17:29:09.150-04:002012-04-18T17:29:09.150-04:00Beautiful!!

I also just planted star jasmine a few weeks ago to climb a big ol pine tree and I can't wait for it to take off! I had one years ago where I use to live and in less than 3 years was enormous as it engulfed a giant pine. Charleston I noticed is full of it everywhere you go. Speaking of which my hubby and I are heading your way to 82 Queen Thursday for our anniversary.

Each year I think I have gotten rid of it only to see it pop up again.

MAC's looking good, despite her earlier problems. I laughed at your sentence about the echinacea.
