You don't neeed to knee to see it in detail, as for many hardy ones that are dwarfs. That happy, tall exception is growing perfectly in my yard in Bucharest, Romania, a climate like SE-Colorado, only wetter. The tallest is over 1 meter high and I expect almost 2 meters in the future. I keep plants from NM, KS and CO- from CO I have 4 locations with magenta flowers and a rare white-flowered clone! <br />Always nice to see people appreciating their own native treasures! Loved the story and photos!<br />Cheers,<br />FabianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-59361055267836078472009-03-09T14:26:00.000-06:002009-03-09T14:26:00.000-06:00Thanks, Watcher...

You're lucky to have more of them; good luck with the ID.<BR/><BR/>I got most of the spurge last year, just a few plants left. I think the new owner is going to rip out what's in the yard, too. Great news!

I see a lot of 1 or both when I'm down South; I'm determined to figure out which is which when I go back down in April.<BR/><BR/>Be careful with the spurge. I read/heard so many stories when researching that post I did last week.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.com
