Ginny Prins from this list and the Toronto, Canada, area was
here visiting this week and she brought me a LA, 'Dorothy K.
Williamson' that is now in a watering pot on my front stoop
in full bloom until I decide where to put it....Ginny lives
in Zone 4.
We are in peak Siberian and peony bloom and haven't lots of
visitors - a glorious summer day in the mountains.
Cheers,
Ellen
