And it was on sale too, that helped!<br /><br />Rose--I think your clematis is as confused as my Zizia! I'm glad to know my garden isn't the only one with some psychosis!<br /><br />Gail--What is with this nonexistent autumn? It's been too cold and rainy for me to even plant my bulbs yet. Argh!<br /><br />Kathy--The Zizia is indeed a native. It's a moist prairie plant and is related to Zizia aptera, aka Heart-leaved Alexander, which grows in drier prairies.<br /><br />The mum was not a passalong, but rather an impulse buy last year at a local nursery. I got a second mum with it (a different kind), but it got eaten by a rabbit or squirrel within days of me planting it. I guess this surviving one didn't look appetizing?Ramble on Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407299834073788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-25081573035444482212009-10-15T19:24:49.164-07:002009-10-15T19:24:49.164-07:00Was your mum a passalong, too?

This year it would have tripled in size! It's a great plant.<br />gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-55300465750983614272009-10-15T11:39:15.355-07:002009-10-15T11:39:15.355-07:00Gotta love that Golden Alexander!

I think my one lonely mum is the same color as yours. At this time of year I welcome any spots of color I can find!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-86724845201796753902009-10-15T07:18:17.545-07:002009-10-15T07:18:17.545-07:00I'm not a Mum fan either, but I do like the co...I'm not a Mum fan either, but I do like the color of yours.
