Re: colchiums & ivy question

Oh man - some of mine are blooming now and more are sprouting!  I LOVE these things - thanks Kitty!
I've been getting home so late w/ Bridgett on maternity leave (thank God she got fixed this time)
that I can't get all my watering done, but I make the rounds to check on
my babies. Got my 'Blue Hill' salvias planted - will plant the 'Wild
Thing' salvias in tomorrow or Sat. morning. Has anyone figured out what
this crazy ivy is w/ the red berries yet? It's too cool and the birds
love it, but I'd love to know what it is!! The two pigeonberries (bird
planted) are doing beautifully but I must admit, at first I thought it
was garlic mustard. Glad I waited before I yanked it out!!


whew!
