No, happy day. I do know all of the names; that might not have been clear in
my post. The gentleman who didn't have them labelled in time for the local
sale did have them bagged by name; he just had not marked each individual
rhizome for the sale.
And keeping the records carefully appeals to my innate anal-retentive streak.
I'm a word-person too, and I get far more enjoyment out of the names than I
suspect is the norm. I hope someday to create entire beds based on the
themes inherent in the names, even though deep in my heart I realize I might
be the only one who 'gets'
it.
I'm a fiction writer too, although unpublished. Love the writing part. Hate
the selling part, and I'm struggling to keep the momentum going there.
katie (and yes, "college" is my real last name. As my mother commented, I
must love him.)
