Re: Plant shopping

Hi Chris,
Your list came through almost fine.  I clicked a few enters here and there
to make it easier to read.  Did you take a bus to this shopping trip? ;+)

I have the Silene, but yours includes a common misspelling.  It is Clifford
Moor, no e on Moor.  It's not named after a person, it is named for a
location, Clifford Moor, somewhere in great Britain.  and BTW - I love it!,
I just ordered 7 more.

I've tried the comfrey, Symphytum 'Goldsmith' but never had any luck with
it.

Great list - not start digging!

Kitty
