As I commented on your post, you have some of the same plants that I have, yet yours are much larger and I even had a month or so head start on spring.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-19722109209881874252013-05-26T07:30:32.729-05:002013-05-26T07:30:32.729-05:00Yes, me too.

My lizards LOVE grasshoppers as well.<br />Hey, what is the tall blue flowers blooming in the very back of that first photo?<br />I'd like to have some of those in my garden. I'm guessing it is a salvia or sage of some type.<br />Thanks!<br />David/:0)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-53291643891179616732013-05-24T21:52:07.829-05:002013-05-24T21:52:07.829-05:00I love your prairie!

I'm glad you got the rain, and I've thought about that before, too, when we've had storms that got worse after they left us.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment on my Wildflower Wednesday post. I hope my gardens fill in like yours in the next few years. I am tickled at the growth of the ones that have been planted a year or two. I have lots of seedlings I can't identify so far, too.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-6043491867874407662013-05-20T19:13:37.181-05:002013-05-20T19:13:37.181-05:00Glad you got some much-needed rain, but were spare...Glad you got some much-needed rain, but were spared the hail and other damaging weather.scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-76427899677987011442013-05-20T05:42:36.420-05:002013-05-20T05:42:36.420-05:00Congrats on the rain.
