Sorry, it's my childhood memories - we had it growing around and it was considered to be a weed. But, there are several beautiful varieties, and I might change my mind one day.<br />Have a warm, sunny, beautiful weekend!!!!Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-67411980204516478382018-02-04T15:34:44.449-05:002018-02-04T15:34:44.449-05:00Hello Gracie girl !

LOL)<br />You would LOVE Miss Wilmott .. the flower heads are magnificent .. I wished I had dried some .. I am going to have to try her again some time. For now I am watching to see if Big Blue comes back for me this year ... and the anticipation of Neptune has me excited to see how that one makes out. I looked up your sea holly and it is a perfect Halloween flower of course LOL<br />I like the neat habit for sure .. all pluses !<br />Garden weather for us will take months yet .. I will try to hold on to my sanity until then?

I've been thinking about you and ...Hey sweetie. I've been thinking about you and have an email coming soon. I won't discuss the weather because you'll hate me. But I too love Eryngium and although I've never grown Miss Wilmott I've always admired her. I have Eryngium variifolium ‘Moroccan Sea Holly’ that I got as a seedling years ago from my friend Carol. Blue flowers yes and nice variegated, ground-hugging foliage. What's not to love. I hope you have compatible gardening weather soon.

Big Blue has been the prettiest so far but now the Neptune variety has me totally curious .. have to see what it is like !<br /><br />Cat I am so sorry you are going through such hard times with your health .. you have to really take GOOD care of yourself and do what the doctors tell you to do !<br /><br />Carrie you are big trouble in a little package ? LOL .. I really loved that sea holly it was huge and a perfect Halloween flower for sure .. yes to spread seeds to unknowing benefactors, how fun would that be right ? haha<br /><br />Cindee I can't wrap my head around how fast you have landed from Spring to almost summer ?<br />No wonder the plants are growing like crazy !<br />Thank you for the youtube link to the fountain ..

We are having a heat wave here. 70's(-: I'm sure the Winter will come back some day but for now I am enjoying going outside! I have never heard of a gold one. I am going to look that up.<br />The crow fountain is available online to order. Just look up crow fountain! Amazon has one but it is more expensive then what I paid.
