I asked it to wait while I ran to get the camera, but it didn't oblige :) Cute little fella it was. I only like the little benign ones!<BR/>Your asters are looking very colorful Zoey. I have a bright pink one but it's been rather overtaken by the tall small-flowered rudbeckia. I didn't rip enough of that out during our very wet spring!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1159102282109647212006-09-24T08:51:00.000-04:002006-09-24T08:51:00.000-04:00Zoey, where have you been?

Didn't see them this year, though. I kind of miss them.

I figure they are eating a lot of those nasty slugs so I welcome them anytime. Luckily, we don't have any poisonous snakes up here! Your AJ's look great. Many variegated plants have great foliage at the expense of blooms, so it may be that your Frosty Morns are meant to have showy leaves and unremarkable flowers. They still look pretty.Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.com
