Re: New Plants for spring

Many thanks, Gene.  I'd forgotten I had asked the question, but I am very
grateful you went to the trouble to find the name tags.  I have such very
difficult soil--I could go on forever describing its problems, but I'll
spare you--that I am always looking for plants that will thrive here.  And
be deer resistant to boot!
