I'm glad you bought it. I too often regret not "splurging" on something that struck my fancy. I came by way of Mr Brown Thumb and read your post about agonizing over the purchase of the bird bath.

The flax <em>starts</em> blooming in May. The individual flowers only last for a day, but the plant blooms for more than two months. Zoey, I think you misread my post.

It is amazing how creative we get around the septic tank lids. Your birdbath looks great there. I like perennial flax too but I haven't had luck with it where I garden now. Your north side garden is chock full of goodies. Glad you are back! What a beautiful field of poppies! It is amazing how creative we get around the septic tank lids. Your birdbath looks great there.

I was quite excited to see a new post today. I have admired that perennial flax this spring at my local nursery. They had it planted with purple allium...quite a stunning display. I did not realize that the petals closed up in May. That field of poppies is beautiful. Do I see bachelor buttons in there, too? The trellis is a giant! I will be interested to hear more about it. How clever to use the top of the septic tank for the birdbath. I hope more birds find that upscale drinking fountain you have so kindly provided for them. Kathy,
