A Delightful Surprise and Challenge

I received a wonderful surprise in the mail last week.
A large brown package..... inside 5 envelopes filled with seeds..

Shady from Does Everything grow better in My Neighbours Yard Blog knew I was drooling over her Blackberry lilies and kindly offered me some seeds...Lo and behold, Shady sent me not only Blackberry lily but Goldstrum Rudbeckia, Purple Coneflower, Joe Pye Weed and Monarda Jacob Cline seeds.
I am very excited to get these seeds planted
in the garden using Shady's suggestion of adapting milk jugs as mini greenhouses. Do check out her blog for great instructions on this technique.
The challenge she made? To use the 2 gorgeous pictures she sent and make cards , my other love after gardening.The photos,one is a toad lily and the other Illinois bundleweed.
Shady! thank you so much for this special and wonderful surprise.. What terrific friends one finds in the world of blogging.
