Oh, I'm so sappy, I LOVE these stories, there
almost as good as talking about the plants!

We do the same thing, although in our case it's
Roy's garden - I've only
found one with his name . . . . . Roy's Yellow
day lillies, which are
blooming as I speak.

I don't know of any other Kara's flowers, but I
would like to suggest a
fun plant for kids - the sensitive plant.  I think
it's a mimosa of some
type.  One touches the *ferny* leaves and they
close up instantly. He
brings his friends over to stroke the leaves and
watch them close and
they giggle at the plant's antics.

My 6 yo son loves to garden and can identify
all the plants in our yard. 
He's a great little helper when people stop to
admire . . . I just let
him take over and give the *tour*. <proud
smile>
