There are quite a few Cristina..I have about 10 doubles..Simbad must have dozens! This one is great if you have a largish patch to fill..it spreads fairly quickly.

A very good combo.......I am on the look out for some more daylilies, had a look at Pollies she has some beauties!!

Great combo!

They look lovely together

Smashing grouping :o)))

I have a meadow of wildflowers and one of them is Yarrow. It's the white specie again..but never had any luck with the colours! wonderful flower and like the lacy foliage as well. best part is that I didn't have to plant it either!

I saw a lovely white one at the Oxford Botanical Garden and took a picture. Cant remember what it was now.. just checked, its Achillea Sibirica!

Now that you mention it...I never gave a thought to it's origins. it's just always been a summer wildflower growing on roadsides and in sunny meadows. There are so many plants which have been brought here by the settlers from Europe. I imagine Yarrow (achillea millefolium) was part of a herbalist's list of medicinal herbs. Achilles was supposed to have used it to stauch his soldier's wounds. It's been around a long time and the native americans have about 30 uses for it from "cramps in the neck" to a laxative....! This is a very lovely ancestor of this amazing herb. Lucky for it..it's as useful(?) as it is pretty.

Ive a great respect for native americans, I think they had a vast knowledge of the land and how to live in harmony with it.

having lived among them, I have to say that( for the elders) what you say is true for most of them. It is a romantic ideal...sorry to say. They are learning to take new roles in the modern world and there are few who are keeping their culture.

Yes lol, Ive seen Dances with Wolves too..great film tho!

I'm not Stands with a Fist..... lol.

You couldve fooled me, especially when you throw those boulders around LOL!

Yeahh... toss me that anvil!
