re: "We are all many-faceted if we keep an open mind." :
And thank goodness for that! This world would be awfully boring if the
people we know weren't able to surprise us once in a while with their
uniqueness, don't you think? I for one am glad to know people who have
such wonderfully varied aspects to themselves.

Catalogue/Stevie Ray<br><br><br>> Well, when I tell Marty that such a
plant exists, he is going to think<br>> it a must have, too. I still
remember his deep sorrow the day Stevie Ray<br>> died...he had a chance
to go to his concert and because of my work<br>> schedule, he couldn't
go...when I came home the next morning and he told<br>> me Stevie Ray
had died I just felt so awful for him...I'm sure he'd love<br>> to have
this in our garden. Thanks for the info. And Kitty...tatoos and<br>>
Stevie Ray? Go figure! You meet the most interesting people on this<br>>
list!<br>><br>><br>> Melody, IA (Z 5/4)<br>><br>> "The most beautiful

Catalogue<br>><br>> HA! Kitty, I never would have guessed you are a
Stevie Ray Vaughn fan.<br>> How <br>funny. My cockatiel's name is
"Stevie Ray Bird" named<br>> after the deceased <br>artist. I
have every single one of his CD's and<br>> jam to them all the time.
<br>Love the blues. But..as they say...you<br>> can't fully appreciate
the <br>blues..unless "you done had the<br>> blues your own
self".<br><br>I'll have to look into this catalog<br>> you are
talking about. Never heard of <br>it. Sounds good.<br><br>Jesse<br>>

have ordered from Arrowhead several<br>> times. Perennials as well as
<br>>woodies.<br>>Their plants are<br>> not small, IMO. Here's
what he says in the catalog:<br>>"We try<br>> very hard to ship
the best plants we have available., usually<br>> this<br>>translates
to the oldest and largest we have on hand, though<br>> occasionally
<br>>we<br>>deem a younger plant is healthier and<br>> select that
insrtead. Obviously the<br>>same plant ordered in fall<br>> will be
larger than it was in spring."<br>><br>>The<br>> perennials
I've received were usually 4 in pots or quarts. Shrubs<br>>
have<br>>been shipped in 1/2 gallon. Perusing his catalog I see
he<br>> lists his<br>>conifers in sizes -2.5 in to 3 gallon. Many of
his<br>> shrubs appear to be<br>>gallons.<br>><br>>They are in
Zone 5,<br>> but they grow many plants that do not survive in Zone<br>>
<br>>5.<br>>Remember the Zone 7 Viburnum I offered last year?
That<br>> came from <br>>Arrowhead.<br>>This is a huge catalogue
for the<br>> discerning buyer. They may or may not
<br>>have<br>>certain<br>> ordinairy plants, but if you're looking
for say, a Saixifraga,<br>> he<br>>has two and a half pages of them,
about 120 varieties. And<br>> something that<br>>just caught my eye,
(oh, man, I'<br>><br>> ve just GOT to have this one!)
Campanula<br>>punctata hyb 'Stevie<br>> Ray' (I am a huge Stevie Ray
Vaughan fan!) <br>>Described<br>>as :<br>> By far, the best of the
blues... And, as huge as the catalog is,<br>> he<br>>has more. You
just need to ask if he has what you are looking<br>>
for.<br>><br>>The owner is gruff to say the least, but well
worth<br>> doing business with,<br>>even if you do have to look up
your own<br>> hardiness zones and pictures -<br>>that's what google
is for. (he<br>> does have many pics at<br>>
website)<br>><br>>Kitty<br>><br>>----- Original Message<br>>
