Oh yeah Daryl, we are water-wise.  So glad I don't have horses, square bales
of hay are already up to 8 bucks a bale - ugh.  If we don't get any rain
this month, we will be in trouble for sure.  And come to Texas any Spring,
you'll see enough bluebonnets to knock your eyes out.  I understand they're
even better down in the Hill Country than here.  Maybe I'll get down there
someday....

Yes Jim, when it comes to plants, walking outside does jog my memory.  I
keep a small stainless steel quart size bucket by the front door for keys.
Come in the door, drop 'em in the bucket.  That way, I always know where
they are.  Otherwise, Lord only knows where they'd end up.

Looking at the link reminds me that I also forgot the Calycanthus.
