RE: Heart attack time!

Rich,
I'm forwarding this on to the Hort Ed - looks like a good idea. If he
wants some I will let you know and it would be sweet of you to pick them
up for us. We'll pay the shipping, too.


What I found interesting, when I went to the website, was that just 2
blurbs above the Fallopia, also listed as a 2005 Release, was Penstemon
'Prairie Splendor' which I am sure I bought two years ago for our
Prairie.
