A Tisket, A Tasket

My topiary basket is green, not yellow. It is made from a forsythia bush and was yellow briefly when it bloomed earlier this spring. I had hoped to get some Wave petunias to put in it, but meanwhile it has a profusion of purple oxalis with lavender flowers and a strawberry plant with pink flowers.

To "Anonymous" who wanted some purple coneflowers, e-mail me at NJplaintalker "at" yahoo.com and let me know when you can pick them up. I also have coral bells to give away.
