Title: My hoard from today
Post by: Georgie on April 26, 2009, 22:41:57
Poor plants had to cross the river and in pretty high temps for the time of the year so they were put on my chair in the shade and given a good watering.  Very pleased with them.   ;D

Thanks.  :)  The tall one is Polemonium yezoense 'Purple Rain' commonly known as Jacob's Ladder.  I love the foliage on this one which has a lovely purple tinge.
