Re: AB: shoe brown seedling

Love this one especially, Donald!

I moved AB Jacob's Well from a protected location in 2006 into a raised bed 
in full sun.  It bloomed last year for the first time since I got it in 
2001.  This year, even this early in the season, it looks like it's already 
tripled in size.  The few new AB's I got in 2006 also look like they've 
survived a very long winter.
