I will second both Claire and Gene....Claire in that Gene's article
is most interesting and very well done and I, too want to know about
that 11' child, and Gene in highly recommending NARGS. You don't
have to be into rock gardens - I do not have one at all - but if you
love plants and want to learn about them, get seed for them, etc., it
is a grand organization. Web site for those of you who are
unfamiliar with it is:
http://www.nargs.org/
My local chapter has spring and fall plant exchanges wherein I have
snagged some really choice children and met some grand people.
