I love it! Going to have to try this one. I'm thinking lobelia, maybe?
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

I used Sempervivums and Sedums because they look good in the winter too and change colors with the seasons. I like the idea of using something else in them too. I might try Delosperma Wheels of Wonder next Spring!
