The Plant Swap with my sister took place one month ago today. Here's an update on all the transplants.
FLOURISHING
The yarrow has lots of new foliage and a beautiful blossom.

The sedum is bursting with new growth.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The rose campion (previously thought to be a type of poppy) is blooming beautifully.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The mystery purple shrub is already nearly twice its original size.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The first of two coneflowers has had its first bloom.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The second coneflower started small but has new growth along the stem.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The coreopsis moonbeam has new foliage and tiny yellow buds that are about to open.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FARING WELL
The spirea hasn't really grown, but is settled in and holding its own.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The shasta daisy is the same size but has a bit of new growth at the center.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The second rose campion is still the same size but very healthy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The mum is robust and has some new growth at the center.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The lilac actually looks healthier in real life than in the photo; it's solid and strong.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This coreopsis has a couple of ragged leaves but is otherwise healthy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The campanula (bluebells) is delicate but has been blooming continuously.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The lily of the valley, recently shown here, is holding up despite interference by some squirrels.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FLOUNDERING
The spiderwort had a beautiful blossom early on, but seems to be going downhill.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
We lost the Stella d'Oro daylily. But I'll try again -- they're so beautiful and really should do well.

A plant swap...what fun! Also a nice inexpensive way to add plants to your garden. You should take photos of these a year from now....I bet they will be really looking nice by then.
