I planted some from bareroot in a container. They're growing -- slowly. Catalog said they could take a season to "get used to" new home. Also wondering how they'll do in zone 7b winter, although those have been getting milder and milder. They are, indeed, splendid.

I agree 2000 was the turning point. I might be getting to the point where I agree with your thoughts about the Dems, too (although I'll still vote for them).

Oh Jesus H. Christ. I understood reticence about this earlier and maybe sort of could have been persuaded by those arguments a few years ago. But if these aren't desperate times now, I don't know what are.

Ooh, is that agapanthus upper left? Whatever it is, it's gorgeous. So are the other photos.

I had the very same thought earlier today -- like a nightmare that just won't end.

I've been trying (not altogether successfully) to stick to the #gardening feed. It helps -- a little.

Thank you. I def know what Johnson's blue is, so that's a great comparison, and the rest was really helpful too. I do have some plumbago, which, when I finally found a spot it liked, is doing ok. I love brunnera but am too cheap to shell out for plants. I'll have to look into the others. Tx again!

Gonna be hanging out on the #gardening feed to quell my anxiety. (OK, I'll check the news a little, but mostly flowers all day long.)

Is that as true blue (i.e., not purplish) as it looks in the photo? Like a blue delphinium kind of blue? (I can't grow delphiniums in my hot, humid 7B garden, unfortunately. This is as close to anything I've seen that resembles that color.) Anyway, it's gorgeous.

No question. I'm just not sure I have faith in the American public that enough of them will understand this fundamental point -- or at least enough in swing states in this insane electoral system we're shackled with. All a girl can do is hope, I guess. And get out the vote.

I liked the artistic fountains. Although now that I look at what you wrote, you're not saying they were bad or good, just that they incursed* into political discourse. *the verb form of "incursion." It's a voiced "s," so pronounced like "z": incurzed.

Alito is clearly an arrogant SOB. Starting to think Roberts is an SOB with a thin veneer of graciousness.

I had a car like that. '73 Datsun, 17 years old when I bought it for $300 from a friend. Speedometer didn't work either, but just watched the tachometer (sports vehicle!). Also popped out of fifth on the highway, but you just cradled that little stick shift in your right hand and all was well.

There are lots of very good therapists out there, although finding the right fit is definitely part of the process. Then there are the idiots. Sorry you had to go through this.

Take the car, park it up the street, but leave a little toy car in its place. That'll make 'em look twice.

Small regional museum in Southwest/region they came from? Also: burn some sage when you finally find a new home for them.

Similar thing with my dad in his last days, though proximate cause was different. He took his time at the end. Thinking of you. <3

Or you can just tell them you meant to write "playing for table stakes" and leave them even more perplexed.

Damn. I was sure the artist was Alex Katz, and was all ready with a witty quip a la "The artist finally lives up to his name." Then I just had to click on the link.
