I’m glad your friend was able to give some of the fetching vetchling back to you. Mine do self sow but very infrequently. I plan to search out a few more of these cuties. I know there are some out there.

How can you not love Lathyrus!!! When I moved 4 years ago, I gave a piece to a friend, and took some with me. Suffered last year and not looking good this year. And thats the amazing wonderful thing about gardeners! My friend gave me back a healthy piece of the plant last week so now am waiting for the first buds to open.

Then Darrell Probst, Garden Vision offered a very pricey blue variety and I just HAD to have it! No critter had ever touched the other two so I did nothing to protect it and some bunny chewed it down to the nub the first spring after I'd planted it. So I had to order another one. Katrink has had a cage now for 2 yrs to protect her from marauders, and she looks so pretty and happy this spring. I am so delighted!
