I guess they all had to originally come from some where.<br /><br />Hi Joanne, thanks, oh yes we should all be so lucky, but no telling where all the wildflowers will be in advance but still.<br /><br />Hi Barbara, thanks, yes this area is wonderful but I am wondering how cold the winters will be, Ha.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, you are so right, I think it must be the humidity and the rainfall all months of the year.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, yeah the money for sure I just read that fuel tax is going up in this state. Ugh<br /><br />Hi Gail, thanks, yes could be negatively but I meant it as a food, thanks for coming by here. My email should work but you'd have to type it into your email program as I get lots of emails via the blog.<br /><br />Hi Meredith, thanks, ditch lilies oh what a name for such pretty flowers.<br /><br />Hi Amy, thanks, we are headed up there this week after the holiday.<br /><br />Hi Growin Granny, thanks, I guess the common name is butterfly weed or mildweed, I grew it in my California gardens but it wasn't as nice as this wild variety.<br /><br />Hi Charlene, thanks, we need lots of pull outs many of the roads here are quite narrow and curvy, rather scary sometimes.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, the one I grew in California was rather sparse too.<br /><br />Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, definitely unexpected gifts abound here.<br /><br />Hi Dee, thanks, oh you would find so many places to take photos of around here, I wish you and Frank well and do appreciate all you show us through your blog.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, the milkweed and butterfly weed are one and the same, just two common names, I guess that's why the botanical names are better for identification as there is no mistaken identies. Ha. I'll have to check out that book.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-25551935704620776742013-07-03T00:23:51.627-04:002013-07-03T00:23:51.627-04:00interesting that Growin's Granny said milkweed...interesting that Growin's Granny said milkweed, and Arkansas Patti said Butterfly weed, because I just read Barbara Kingsolvers novel, Flight Behavior, about Monarch butterfly migration.

Shasta daisies have become a weed here and also a lily we call November Lily.
