You have a fine selection. <BR/><BR/>Even the Henbit (growing in my parkway, annoying the neighborhood lawn-meisters) looks great in your close-up.

Is this what you call it, too? <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713300539502701324.post-15650238534659608962008-03-21T11:58:00.000-04:002008-03-21T11:58:00.000-04:00Beautiful purples! as well as Yellows in your last...Beautiful purples! as well as Yellows in your last post.
