Re: Ground Orchid

Jim, I got three of my Epimediums from Darrell Probst and two from Plant
Pics - the people who used to own Shady Oaks .  These are what I have:

Epimedium pinnatum ssp. colchicum
Epimedium alpinum 'Rubrum'
Epimedium x versicolor 'Versicolor'
Epimedium diphyllum 'Roseum'
Epimedium x youngianum 'John Gallagher'

There are some real stunners in his collection that I'd love to have some
day.  Some listings I see on the internet show that some varieties can be
grown as far south as Zone 9, but you're in 10, aren't you?
