Too many gardens so I wanted to remove half the prairie garden but Ed thought it would be a good idea if the entire garden were gone. He was right. (As usual!) Kevin Neisen transplanted several of the plants to the patio garden and besides, I have some of these magnificent specimens there.

| Because the tap roots of some of these plants are so long, I wouldn't be surprised if a few show up next year. |
And so, just as a garden grows and changes, it moves into a new phase...THE PRAIRIE PATCH. Your new little piece of prairie near ? the house w/ blue stem and what else was that other plant you talked about on the phone w/ me this a.m.? sigh....We love you, Mommy! Liesl just said, "I love how Meema TALKS!" xoxoxoxoxxo
