Hi, Nancy...it's good to hear your 'voice' again!
 
My dogs unpredictably nibble on the strangest things so I don't plant  
anything in the back yard which could really get them into trouble. I've been  
warned that Rue is significantly poisonous so have avoided it but it's a real  tug 
at the heart.
 
The real quest is that lovely pale blue-y glaucous foliage  that rue and 
Aquilegia ssp.lottaflab (joking, here), which stayed  perky all summer although it 
bloomed only in the spring, unlike  what one site said about going nearly 
until frost. That got my  attention but it's probably another lavish exageration. 
 
Does anyone know of other blue/green glaucous foliaged plants..which aren't  
poisonous?
 
Many thanks...and nice talking with you again, Nancy!
