So I Go to a Plant Sale - And I Come Back With Yarn

I can't stop buying yarn.  I usually do not need what I buy.  Yesterday I went to the Cranbrook Wildflower and Perennial sale.  They have it once a year and have a great selection of wildflowers and some native Michigan perennials.  This year a group of students had a table with some plants that can by used for natural dyes such as madder an calendula.    Of course I bought some of those.  Along with a skein of yarn that they had dyed with Marigolds.


But I also bought way too many plants.  Bought a red trilliam, two types of fern, foam flower and others.  Hopefully I will start planting them tomorrow.
