They always get a bit of leaf burn at the end of the summer but I just can't help but plant them.<br /><br />It is easy to get caught up in the busyness Ramona. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I really appreciate those who follow my blog as I know how much time it takes ;) The Mexican flame vine does look a bit like a coneflower. In person though they are smaller and cluster a bit.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-42457257466290722032011-03-18T17:59:08.104-05:002011-03-18T17:59:08.104-05:00Beautiful!

I look forward to experiencing your spring with you! <br /><br />Thank you Karin, I hope you have a great weekend too!<br /><br />Thank you Mike! <br /><br />Laurrie, you know how sometimes you take a shot and look back at the camera screen and just smile knowing you caught a special moment in time? That's how I felt when I captured that shot. It was magical.<br /><br />Thank you Marguerite. Have a wonderful weekend! <br /><br />Thanks Alan. Mexican flame vine is 9a-11. I'm pushing my zone a bit but my back yard is pretty well protected from the harsh north wind. Several plants that I didn't expect to return this year have...ever hopeful!<br /><br />Toni, For Mexican flame vine info see above comment to Alan...my Jerusalem sage is new to my site...just put it in last fall and I've been happy. It's got some protection from the wind as well. It struggled a bit but is starting to perk up. I'll look for more info on the Star of Bethlehem. That is what the foliage looks like. Thanks for the id! Have a great weekend.<br /><br />Hi One, Thank you! Yes, I am anxious to see how you like your new camera.

Love that Mexican Flame Vine. At first glance I thought it was some hybrid coneflower. Very cool. What is the hardiness zone on it? Jealous of your Jerusalem Sage buds. Mine took a hit from the freeze this year and it's slow to recover. I think your sweet little white blooms might be Star of Bethlehem. Is the foliage kind of grass-like?Toni - Signature Gardenshttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-51396888302416057882011-03-18T07:46:23.684-05:002011-03-18T07:46:23.684-05:00Beautiful!
