So good to get an update and really looking forward to your book on rarer annuals. Amazing to find all that space at hand for a new garden. The orange form of emilia 'Irish Poet' is really nice too. That story about Goddard launching rockets from the golf course sounds like a comedy skit!

I just got featherskirt a few weeks ago from Lilypons (pre-order).
A lot of my lotus did not come back; I'm wondering if they did not get enough sun last year as there was so much rain. They seemed to overwinter fine the previous year.

I love the crunch of gravel paths. My Spotty Dotty in Wisconsin sent out five babies this spring and it's only its third year in the garden. Very exciting. Is there any way to over winter Salpiglossis in the house or basement?
