The Amsonias are already for more than 20 years in my garden and they still are a compact group, but so funny, until now I did not know they had scent. I will keep it in mind till next spring, I want to smell the vanille fragrance.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-4090406188842246492013-08-04T22:52:02.369-04:002013-08-04T22:52:02.369-04:00Thanks for asking Carol, it's been busy around...Thanks for asking Carol, it's been busy around here!

I can see why you might want a whole garden of 'Purple Smoke'. I bought a pale yellow one this spring. They can easily get crowded out in my garden, so I am nurturing this one in my holding bed until it gets big enough to hold its own. I think I will go back to the nursery and get a white one as well.

What a beauty.<br /><br />I was interested to read your comments about baptisia Twilite Paririeblues. I grow it and have had the same odd reaction to this plant -- it's robust and a gorgeous foliage plant, but the flowers are so weird and changeable and I can't describe them. I wish instead that I had put in the lovely yellow one you show.<br /><br />Amsonia takes forever -- years -- to become an attractive plant. Thank goodness you were patient, you are now being rewarded with the nice form and even the interesting flowers.Laurriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657951570419825095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-65409406234892452732013-05-25T09:23:57.998-04:002013-05-25T09:23:57.998-04:00Sweet Bay, all so lush and your garden is as beaut...Sweet Bay, all so lush and your garden is as beautiful as ever! the Louisiana Iris is stunning!

I love them and have several different species. Also love, love, love baptisia; I have one 'Twilight Prairieblues'and at least 5 'Starlight Prairieblues'. It's a terrific blue bicolor that you would also like. So glad you shared your garden with the WW bunch! xoGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-28908562423679112052013-05-24T21:52:04.866-04:002013-05-24T21:52:04.866-04:00I love the combination of Baptisia and Amsonia.
