It can become quite invasive, so you might want to do some checking on it. It spreads by little bulbs attached to Mama bulb and also by seed, I think. When I lived in Portland, I pulled it out whenever I could and it still kept on spreading.<br /><br />Barbara H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-38443053184175053562011-05-23T12:00:23.967-07:002011-05-23T12:00:23.967-07:00I love the casmia!

You grow many of the plants I love and rarely see cultivated, like the peach jacob's ladder and the camas -- yay Oregon natives!

But, since I just got back from Germany, I couldn't resist and bought a dozen of geraniums. I started to have problems with deers. They already tasted my lupins, columbines, raspberry, strawberry, roses. Should I join the NRA?Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-62296833738811421482011-05-21T03:40:18.883-07:002011-05-21T03:40:18.883-07:00Grace,

I see the foliage again this year. I hope it decides to surprise me like so many of the kids have been doing so far! The lovely blooms of the Polemonium 'Apricot Delight' are another favourite as is the shy blooming P. divaricatus. Mine, a tricoloured species looks so raggedy and spindly, but I haven't the heart to remove it.... yet!<br /><br />Your garden is leaps and bounds ahead of mine! The Allium [Christophii] here are still tightly sheathed, as is the Nectaroscordum. I must remember to add a few Pulmonaria this year - I love the shimmery silver one. A lovely post as always Grace!Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-89690651018686069022011-05-20T09:04:22.450-07:002011-05-20T09:04:22.450-07:00Hi Grace,

We got over 2 inches last night.<br /><br />You have some beautiful blooms there. I wonder what that bulb is. It sure has lots of blooms on a plant. I'm not familiar with camas. I thought they were agapanthus, or however you spell that. They don't overwinter here. I got one one year that I grew in a pot, but it didn't bloom. It lived inside one winter, but still didn't bloom the next year. I put it in the egress window well the next winter, and it didn't make it. I love those blue blooms. Are camas related to them?Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-37813622309584224262011-05-19T20:31:18.742-07:002011-05-19T20:31:18.742-07:00Beautiful post, Grace!

You have so many pretty bloomers today! I love that first bulb. I think I need to add Camas to my garden, I've seen it on a few blogs lately and I love it.
