Since you all brought up the subject of Hydrangeas (so I can't be blamed
for going off topic :-) - Does anyone know of a source of H. quercifolia
'Snowflake'? I've grown 'Snow Queen' for several years (and am now trying
'Alice, supposedly superior to SQ) but this spring I saw a mature bush of
'Snowflake' and it is a must-have. It's a double 'Snow Queen' and to my
eye, looked even whiter...I've looked at Wilkerson Mill, Bridgewood
(Crownsville), Monrovia and Wayside...no luck. I have herd that it is more
difficult to start from cuttings than most, which may account for its
scarcity.
