RE: bulbs are here/lurker

Ron: I don't have an answer on the tulip/bulbs question for you...sorry!
But I do have a question about something you mentioned in you e-mail in
passing. You said you have had help from a young woman who paints info
on rocks for you...that sounds kind of like something I'd like to see in
my garden...what kind of info and how big/small are the rocks??? Is this
your way of marking your plants and if so, how did you think of that?
