I have some beautiful Magnus coneflowers, I can send you pictures of them. Also have alot of other things if you're interested. I need more blue in my garden, and I have alot of pink :o)

Okay. I think this url will work. Hope someone can use these. they look pretty cool to me! Rain Here is a link that might be useful: Large Blue

Dax-- Thanks Mike-- in answer to your mulch question, it's pine mulch that I get bagged from Home depot. I like it too. I've tryed several diffent kinds and I like this the best. Dave-- I'd actually move tomorrow if I could convince my wife to move to a place with more property, but she and the kids love the neighborhood and the vote always comes out 5 to 1 girls against guy, but I'm still hopeful. It might be tough to sell the house though, most people around here just want all grass yards. Thanks for the comments, Dan

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll look for these at the nursery. Is Nikko Blue the bluest of the blues? I would post a picture but it would be too embarrassing. The garden has been abandoned for months because of heat and mosquitoes. Also, I am a lazy, organic gardener with too many gardens to water. I let everything grow: self-seedlings, things in the wrong place. I also don't have much sun so I put things in spots of sun that don't really "belong". But I am ready to get it under control! I walked around this weekend and made a list of what looks good and will divide and plant more of the "winners" and will lose the "losers". Hydrangeas are one of the big winners, so I plan to buy some more this week. Besides Nikko Blue, I have loads of that very common type with the sorta lime-colored leaves and greenish to turning white mops. I forgot what its called.
