Re: roots and rhizones

Roots and Rhizomes is the upscale branch of Jungs.  I have ordered from them
with mixed results, and am ordering two things this year, with reservations,
because I can't find them in any other catalog where I'm already placing
orders.  One of the plants, Gaillardia 'Fanfare'  is available from Plants
Delight, but I don't want to order 7 other plants from PD in order to make
the shipping worth the price.  The second plant is a strain of Pardancandas
that I haven't found in any of the other five catalogs I'm placing orders
with.  R&R does replace a plant, though their customer service is a little
reluctant.
