Also got a queen of the meadow--it has yellow leaves, but is very tiny right now since she's new. Lovely plant. And as for the flooding--wow. What can one say? I wish they'd go back to thes eplaces on the news and report things now, but it's passed in the minds of the media--at elast for a year.

I can imagine how strong the scent must be when the flowers are so high. I do like the euphorbia Silver Swan story and plant :-D<BR/><BR/>I also enjoyed your previous posting with the wasps but I always love to see your swallowtail butterflies. They really are quite beautiful. I would love to see them in my garden too. It doesn't seem like summer here at the moment – too cool and too much rain. I guess we will have to wait for our butterflies :-D <BR/><BR/><I>Enjoy the rest of your week :-D</I>Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-9942310072158290312008-07-09T01:57:00.000-04:002008-07-09T01:57:00.000-04:00The Queen is beautiful, even though pink isn't exa...The Queen is beautiful, even though pink isn't exactly my favorite color.

Just because the Queen doesn't get as dowdy looking as the Hollyhocks after they bloom. The Queen doesn't really care who she keeps company with because she will always rise above the commoners.<BR/><BR/>Gail, I have never understood the "moist" requirement for the Queen. Once established she will perform well anywhere. I can always gauge the moisture levels in the soil by the height of her blossoms. The more moisture the taller the blooms.<BR/><BR/>Annie, as I stated I think the moisture levels aren't so critical. Moisture determines the height of the blooms not the strength of the plant.<BR/><BR/>Beckie you would only be bowing before the Queen when pulling weeds that might try to take advantage of those lovely skirts to hide behind.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-86464386241015152542008-07-08T17:10:00.000-04:002008-07-08T17:10:00.000-04:00My sister grew this at her old house.

Thanks for giving me another idea for a planting here. She would be a perfect addition, but do you think she would like being so close to such commoners as the hollyhocks?Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
