Thanks Grandma! The first is Carpet bugleweed and the second is tall blue Phlox. (thats what I bought it as for 99 cents last year but I wonder if it is correct) It is highly scented.

That Carpet Bugleweed is really pretty … such an interesting leaf with a beautiful flower. Can’t say I have seen it. Gonna have to do a bit of research … wonder if it would grow in my gardens? Love the variety in your gardens …

These shots are really nice.

Can I ask a question about the frames? How did you do them, especially with your signature on the frame? What program does this?

I just layered a few white on black boxes and added some shadowing and my signature…everything I have is old…Its actually Microsoft Picture-it ‘98..ha. The camera is a 2mp Fuji Finepix 2650
