Thanks, Worth. Very interesting. I've grown variteties that bloom with blue, pink and white flowers but I had no idea the pink and white were so much more rare than the blue. I'm not sure of specific varieties. Some were trailing and some were upright. The only one I have at this time is blooming blue right now and it's an upright type. I didn't see any fall bloomers in your list but we keep flip flopping between 50 and 75 degree days here.

I feel much the same as Jennifer in that it's a very strongly flavored herb and a little goes a long way. I also love to run my hands through it and appreciate the smell. I think, by the way, that freezing it in a compound butter is a fantastic idea. To me, dried rosemary is like eating dried up needles from a Christmas tree. Sharp, painful and kind of musty. Adding the butter softens it up a bit.
