COCONUT LIME


GREEN ENVY


SUNDOWN

Looks like a nice haul! Though I must be one of only a few that doesn't care for Coconut Lime or Geen Envy personally!

I'm hooked on coneflowers! But I really thought Coconut Lime and Green Envy would be greener. Isn't that what you were expecting? I really love my two Sunrise coneflowers, but I had to hurry and get them in the ground so they aren't exactly where I had planned to put them.

Love 'em ..have a couple of those myself.

Coconut Lime is definitely white with a greenish cast. I am okay with it though because I needed a white one for a particulat spot and debated between this one and Maid Marian (a white Razzmatazz) but went with this one because I like the name

Green Envy is not showing the color well in the photo I sustect, or the bloom is older. The petals are quite pink at the center and really are quite green at the edges. I am going to stick it in my pink bed for now, so we'll see how it works in there.... Sometimes these novelty things are hard to find a good spot where they lookg good.

They were all on sale at my local nursery though, so I "had" to get them. I am really debating on Tiki Torch.... I probably should have gotten one of them too.... but it is that ORANGE that I don't use in my garden....

Thanks for looking and I am of to search for more varieties!

Naaaaaa.......you won't like it......send it to ME!! I have NO cone flowers...... .....I will have to look at Chris's when we go there.... ....

I had ordered Tiki Torch this spring but due to a crop failure did not get. I think I may wait and see what people say about it now...unless I just find a great deal on it! It is that orange( I don't know how to make colored print????) that I really like!!

LG you must get some Echinacea!!

OK - I'm only slightly confused, Alexa. You have most of your hostas dug up & potted because you're moving, but you're buying echinaceas for that 'particular spot'??

Sorry Reldon! You must have missed the chapter where my DH decided not to take the new job.... I am staying put and planning new beds as I type!

BTW - those potted hostas will come in darn handy for the hosta swap - my swappee will be getting a few of those babies that have been getting the extra care on my patio for the last couple of months!

Yep - I definitely missed that chapter. Glad to hear that you're back to gardening again.
