RE: todays experience
The owners I've spoken to in this area says it's better business to
stick with the well-known, comfortable plants that everyone recognizes.
Not enough space or money to invest a lot in plants that most people are
not familiar with.
But, isn't that part of the fun of gardening? Stretching the limits and
trying something new in the hope of finding a great addition to your
plantings. Unfortunately, it seems you can only do that through
mail-order in most cases. Certainly not everything you get will thrive,
but when an experiment works it is a real thrill.

Yeah I am kinda worried about that.... There are so many more choices
via mail order, but I always wondered about that.. like if they are
really hardy and grow able here, why isn't any of the nurseries carrying
them? I understand the big box stores only do the main plants, but what
about the specialty ones?
Anyone care to explain it to me?
