I hardly buy anything now except the occasional cactus. My immediate back yard has big dogs, the veggie garden is for veggies, and everything else has no water. Of course there are natives...but everything I’m attracted to is bushy and would make great rattlesnake hiding places. So I refrain. Sigh. But I still love living here. 

I've fallen off the mailing list for most seed and plant catalogs but someone at knitting brought in a catalog of heirloom/seedsaver varieties. 

I still get Austen Roses and Murray McMurray Chickens.

My budget keeps my fantasies in check. I do have a cutleaf black sambuca to find a place for...

Oh I love lilies, Zem!

And…

I just got an email that another favorite catalog is ready online. Odyssey Perennials didn’t do a catalog last year; took a year off. But I see it’s ready for 2020 and you know he’s going to have something I’m dying to have!

You need serious therapy, but luckily you are among others with the same affliction. I have only bought 6 Black Beauty lilies, 10 double oriental lilies, and 9 hymenocallis.  However, the season is young, and I need lots more kinds of monarda.
