Yep! That's what it was, I could not think of the floral name. I grew them in a container garden on the deck for the first time last year and was very impressed and pleased by them! I was delighted with the Borage too, it just bloomed and bloomed and has the most unique look. The coneflowers are part of my "butterfly" garden, I have some butterfly weed, yarrow, rudbeckia and bee balm I started last year too back there.

Nothing says spring like the sweet scent of lilac in the air either! Just love them and love watching the bumbles gather pollen from them.

Both my husband and I love to garden and have more projects planned in the spring, I can't wait. I'm sure I'll have lots more pictures to share over the summer
