Something New

I've been waiting for these to bloom, I brought this plant down from the other house but it has taken 6 years to bloom.I've always called it a butterfly weed but my neighbor has much larger, purple blossomed butterfly weed and it seeds itself every place.

I think I found this in the wild and must have seen it in one of my plant books but am not going to look it up,

It's growing at the bottom of my back steps. Does anyone know the exact name for this.?

Hubby seems to be doing better. He's gone to the PT floor twice now and yesterday said he walked twice as far as the day before. He's looking forward to coming home in a couple weeks, before the end of the month. So guess I better get on with my sewing. I do have time to sew when he is home but usually have to get up more to get something he wants or get him some food. I told him I was going to have to learn how to cook all over again. I have been eating some very good Frozen meals. So much better than they used to be. Too easy to stick in the microwave and in 5 minuets have dinner.

I have mostly been trying to get my gifts done for the retreat in Aug. Want to get most of that stuff out of the way and can go back to working on the Double Delight. Thanks for stopping by.
