Hi dirt,@dirtdorphins I'm slowly following your paths with my rock garden project. Quite a few penstemons on my list that were successfully grown from seed are awaiting fall transplant into the ground.I'm absolutely hooked on that incredible N.American genus. A few more are on my seed wish list and many more in the back of my mind. Looking at all your "disaster" color pics, my feeling is that if that were to happen in my garden I wouldn't care at all!! I actually have fun moving things around. I live in a relatively simmilar environment with dry summers with cool nights, but not very cold winters and no permanent standing snow. So I expect many of the species dapted to arid conditions should do very well here. Now a year later I wonder what happpened: Could you update the "disaster"?What happened next? If you think that this post should be moved to the rock garden forum let me know. Thanks. arturo
