Re: new cover-now what are you purchasing

Personally don't do much, if any mail orders. I prefer to see the plant
before purchasing, and luckily have enough nurseries/garden centers
around here that stock diff plants. (although, some have closed up and
others - well we will see what happens).

   
Most years I have a list of plants I would like. For some reason, I
don't this year so it would be interesting to hear what folks are
ordering/looking for.

   
  I have two areas that need plants.  Remember I am in zone 5, IL
   
I ripped out everything from in front of my bay window last fall. Don't
have a clue what to plant. East facing, well drained soil. Suggestions??

   
the side of my waterfall hill. I feel it needs something whipsy to blend
the stones with the landscape. Don't want a solid something. I suppose a
Japennese maple would do the trick, but looking for something different
than that sterio type with ponds. Suggestions?

As Gene will attest, catalogs are expensive and if people don't place 
orders, they simply have to get deleted from the list. I do place orders, 
but they are for the display gardens and so the catalog would go to the CES 
office. Ricky gives me some of them, but I can't get there very often.

I used to order a lot for myself from all sorts of places, but in recent 
years I just haven't had any money to do so, so I am falling off lists. 
However, I can always find the plants online and download order forms from 
websites .

I did place orders this year for me w Homestead, Bluestone, and HCG. I need 
to start growing new material to be able to divide plants in the future for 
my annual plant sale. I tend to look at plants now, not just for their 
aesthetic value, but for their tendency to multiply. If I can divide a 
plant in a couple of years and sell off 3/4 of it, the plant pays for 
itself.

It might be fun to air our lists. What are you ordering this year?
