Hi Dave

I too enjoyed the 'musings' . Can't compete, and am not going to try, but
keep posting.

One point of nostalgia for me your mentioning Phygelius cultivars. We grew
them so well in England, and thought that they would grow even better here,
but both P.Cream Trumpet, and P. coccineus are being outed this autumn
because they just do not perform well. Only sending up an occasional woody
stem with a few measly flowers atop.

Look out for P. Sunshine, which we introduced when in the trade in England.
It is a Winchester Fanfare sport which has deep golden leaves. Wonderful in
a sunny spot.
