Thanks Violet. Some of the plants are miniature daylilies, iris japonica, and California poppies. I found out that Orpine is actually Sedum and I have some of those, although not the same one. It is good for places that don't receive alot of summer water.

Some of the antique flowers are listed here: www.heirloomseeds.com/flowers.htmMy favorite flower (not antique necessarily) on the list is Four O'Clocks. Ours have been pink and yellow, which is a little different. |

I love lamb's ear. Mine are really bright fuscia in color. When it is a cloudy day, the color is so bright, they are just beautiful. We have pinks, and wild violets in our shadier areas. Nothing is in bloom right now. Have to wait till next year to take photos.
