Some of our favorte flowers, that have done very well, are purple coneflower, orange butterfly weed, Happy Returns Daylilies,
Helen's Flower (Helenium x Butter Pat), daylily Stella de Oro, Blazing Star (Liatris spicata), Russian Sage, Siberian
Iris and Sweet William, Monarda (Bee Balm e.g., Jacob Cline), Campanula (Superba) or Bellflower and various Iris.
We have had problems with Black-eyed Susans and several different bleeding heart varities. I really don't understand
the problems with the black-eyed Susans as they have a reputation as being claybusters. And I am trying different varities
in different locations.

Jesus Loves you,
He died for your sins.
Jesus wants to have a
relationship with you.
You can meet Him today &
know Him forever.

“Look at
the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as
beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are
here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you? You have so little faith!
Jesus of Nazareth, Luke 12:27-28

Orange butterly weed with purple coneflower, balloon flower, phlox, Siberian Iris, Autumn Joy Sedum and daylilies.
The garden Phlox is getting ready to bloom. The Siberian Iris are though for the year but still attractive.
The butterfly weed was started from seed. Unlike many flowers, butterfly weed does not transplant well, after it
is established, as it as a tap root.

These are great flowers. Best to plant in fall but could transplant in spring. Flowers in the spring, early
June in Iowa. The leaves look good even when the plant isn't flowering. Tolerates most soils. There are
few problems with this flower. Can be subject to Iris borers. Lift out roots, cut of infected parts and re-plant.
