Nancy,
The Show's webpage is:
http://www.uaex.edu/flower/default.htm
Plant Delights' is:
http://www.plantdelights.com/
Tony is doing two talks: one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
Both on Saturday.
Over on Woodyplants mailing list we've been talking peonies in the warmer
areas. Frank says that his family grew heirloom types in the Arkansas Delta
region with success. How about you?
Hope to see you at the show.

Re: Anemones I must admit that I succumbed today during a visit to a Lowe's Home Improvement store and bought a bag of 18 Anemone De Caen. At only $1.77, I figured that the risk was minimal. Planting instructions were as follows: 1. Dig a hole (!!!) 2. Plant the tuber 2" below surface. 3. Cover the hole with soil and water. Yep. Anyway, the label also states that these "thrive in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Plant preferably in groups in a sunny, sheltered spot. Ideal as cut flowers. Soak tubers in water one night before planting. Blooms July - August." Given that the label is so simplistic, I was wondering if anyone has grown these before. My anemone experiences have been limited to windflowers that bloom with early tulips. I've had great success with them. However, does this variety's foliage melt away, too, in the summer heat? Because it blooms in July, which is the most murderous time of year here, I was wondering if they really will thrive. I'd appreciate any pointers from anyone. Val in KY zone 6aVal, These type of anemones do best in cool climates like coastal California. They are not hardy in Zone 6. They could be started in early April, but since it will be rather warm when they bloom, I don't know how well they will hold up. I tried growing them, but with little luck.
