Mail-Order Wish List: Dianthus plumarius


Ballad Blend Pinks - There are so many types of Pinks available in the industry, its hard to find a good picture of this variety.  The reason why I chose this variety of seed is because the flowers are fully double and fragrant.

Fragrance in the garden is something that I strive to include in design, because it creates an atmosphere that I believe it crucial to a great garden.

Here are some pictures of other varieties that are available and I think are exceptionally beautiful.

Mail-Order Wish List: Monarda fistulosa




Monarda fistulosa - is a taller perennial that is native to our area and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.  This link goes to a website of a company that is probably 20 minutes from my house.  You can bet that I will be wanting to go by there sometime this summer!
