year or so have I been able to usually find pictures on the internet for
plants that I am thinking about orders.

Don't worry Frank, just change your middle initial and it will start all over
again. We get mail on our farm for the previous owner who has been dead for
14 years. I have White Flower for about twenty five years and I have never
purchased one plant from them. Wayside is another story. They have two
specialty catalogs and both offer good stuff. One is rare plants and the
other roses. The roses are the same cost as any catalog andthe best plants I
have ever mailordered. The rare plant catalog must be requested but a lot of
these plants are now found in smaller places if you are on the mail lists.
For being on the IGR (geraniums) I have discovered that you can now buy
plants from Canadian sellers previously not available to us (dwarf and
species pelargoniums for winter bloom). You are right about the Internet
making plants available. A wonderful age for gardeners with the Internet.
BTW, I have learned recently that Internet is capitalized now. Very
important, Internet is. I would hate to lose this new tool.
