Monkey Business

We planted two different kinds of Sticky Monkey Flower in our front yard.  One is a rusty brown and the other is a bit rosy.  We also planted Blue Witch and two different kinds of lilies.  All of them are supposed to be good under Engelmann's.  Boy is it a lot to learn.

We're hoping to have a woodland garden with a bit of a meadow.  Time will tell.  Right now it looks more like a dirt patch with a few green twigs stuck in it.

Last weekend we went on the Theodore Payne Native Garden Tour.  We saw white poppies and decided to plant some next year.

Yesterday when I came back from the Farmer's Market I discovered we actually had two already growing in the yard.  No idea how they got there, but we plan to harvest the pods so we  can plant more next year.
