+The Blorenges Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Soooo We have lilies and cosmos. What would go well with them, on the back of a geocoin? They're both fairly large blooms so I'll try something a bit smaller as a "filler" - How about candytuft? (Iberis umbellate) MrsB Link to comment

+GoldBugGirl Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hurray--we have our third winner! Kini_ont wins the final prize with a correct guess of Salvia. The genus Salvia has many colorful species; my fave is S. farinacea "Victoria Blue"--it makes a divine combo with Shasta daisies. Kini_ont, please email me your address! Thank you all for participating in my first cointest, for my first geocoin! I enjoyed reading your entries; they brought back so many great memories of flowers I have grown & loved. Maybe I can get my garden going again next year, now that the La Nina weather pattern, with its sweltering heat & drought, is dissipating. As promised, it's now time to reveal my design for the front of Cottage Garden Summer. I may tweak it a bit, & the mint may change it some, but this is basically it (shown in perhaps my AE colors): Hopefully I'll have this coin, & another cointest, next year! Link to comment

+kini_ont Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh wow, I was heading out the door caching this afternoon when I remembered that I hadn't picked a flower for today.
