Thank  you. Don, and did you try some Potentilla after your request for info?

 

The attached photo shows two species of Asclepias....it's the smaller, rounded form in the front which I really need help i.d.'ing. It never looks ratty, even during and after last year's scorching, dry months

and blooms for about 3 months or so with those wonderful small, brilliant orange flowers but the foliage is and it's habit is small and tidy, always. I must have been sent this one in error from a vendor but I can't find any order receipts which would reflect its species. I have been told it's A. tuberosa but that's incorrect. I don't believe I have ever seen this form of A. before. Talk about lovely workhorse!

 

Any help anyone can would provide would be hugely appreciated.

Hi Joanie,

Is the photo already on your computer?  If so, you can send it as an attachment to your e-mail.  Your e-mail program should give you this option.  If you are trying to post from within the Yahoo Groups website, you can send the photo to me  if you wish and Iâll post it to the group.

Hi, everyone:

I'm desperate for more of a certain species of Asclepias I've had for two years and I need to upload a photo of it but have no idea how to do this on our list. Could someone let me know how?
 
Thanks so much and I hope everyone's garden is growing well this year!
