Re: Plant lust Now:longest blooming perrenial?

Susan and all listers.
I had better ask my question first,to stay on subject.What was your
longest blooming per.this year?Preferably for at least USDA zone 6.
Susan,your observations struck a cord with me and actually made me laugh
as I recognized my own 'evolution'..
Early on I felt that any choices I made were neigh on to a commitment of
marriage,a life long
(which ever ones(life) ceased first)bond of duty, to test the limits of
ones disappointment no matter how critical the mismatch.....Oh, brother
so serious..
With time came,' liberation',and the resignation that not all (plants)are
matches made in heaven..;-]
This might sound cold and callus to a 'newbie' but I for one am
grateful(you can always find 'em a new home if your conscience bothers
you)...So many plants,so little time.
