They wouldn't grow for me here but some people nearer water can grow them. I like the variegation. I think the star constellations you can see are different at least in part, but that's interesting about the moon, I haven't thought about it, whether the view is exactly the same or not. I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-24845522254473314472014-05-12T03:09:30.676+12:002014-05-12T03:09:30.676+12:00How wonderful the festival sounds!

Terri, it would be great in a rock garden and I see at "Village Nurseries" that many varieties of NZ flax are available including this one!! Now, how about that, a little part of NZ over there. Barb, I planted pansies last week, they should flower until at least August, providing we do not get snow like 2011.And, almost a frost this morning, about 2.5 C at the coldest. The fire is going, coffee finished, and maybe get to sew some more blocks today.
