Drama by design by Valerie Easton (appeared in the Seattle Times)

- 6-pack perennials at Capital (Sunrise)
- 1/2 flats of pansies at Costco (only $7.99)
- Costco bulbs (couldn’t find a price, but they have some really pretty varieties in bags of 50+. If it’s Costco, it’s usually a good deal).

Took a trip to Capital (Sunrise) and Windmill on Sunday… In addition to pea seeds and lettuce, I scored some fun color.
Gaillardia ‘Summer Kiss’ (interesting shade of orangey yellow)
‘Sunsatia Raspberry’ Nemesia (hot pink and orange)
‘Soprano Purple’ Osteospermum (dark bluish purple, not reddish like in the linked photo)
‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’ Sweet potato vine (Ipomoea)
‘Mango Meadowbrite’ Echinacea (a fabulous mango color)
‘Double Azalea Pink’ Snapdragon (too fun to resist)
‘George Davidson’ Crocosmia (canary yellow)
etc.
