And yeah, I'm glad to be back on Blotanical's feed, as I didn't know what was up with that. But it's been a very odd summer....<BR/><Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-90448437994568355552008-09-07T10:14:00.000-03:002008-09-07T10:14:00.000-03:00Jodi!

I have wildflower books I will see if I can ID any. THe only one I know is that yellow one with the frilly leaves. It is blooming around here now too. It is Partridge Pea 'Cassia fasciculata'.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-60855924335373581382008-09-04T06:44:00.000-03:002008-09-04T06:44:00.000-03:00Hi Jodi, glad you're back and enjoyed your trip. ...Hi Jodi, glad you're back and enjoyed your trip. I look forward to hearing more about it. I am very excited about your books, especially the butterfly one, so much to learn there. I see you got the answer of Kansan, being an Oklahoman and daughter of a Missourian. The wildflower gardens are so full of life, what lessons are you going to apply to your own garden from what you saw and learned?Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-29903016310161842602008-09-04T00:31:00.000-03:002008-09-04T00:31:00.000-03:00Missourians and Kansans.At least you're aware of t...Missourians and Kansans.<BR/>At least you're aware of the fact that KC and its suburbs straddle state lines.<BR/><BR/>The photos from Powell Gardens are lovely.

Ah, the lucky male possumhaw! Fortunately, there are lots of bees to aid in this process and all are happy and whole!
