Louise,
I was at the Chelsea Show and it was overwhelmingly amazing!  I've been home 
a couple of days -- just long enough to recover from jet-lag, but not long 
enough to catch up on my e-mail.  (I've worked through the first week of 
perennials digests and have a week's worth to go.)  I have returned to a 
house guest, an upcoming family wedding, a yet unmulched garden full of weeds 
and deadheads, and a backlog of garden designs to draw for clients.  

I took lots of pictures and I'm working on getting them on disk so I can 
share them with all of you.  I also brought home lots of literature from 
Chelsea which I have yet to find time to read.  When I have time to do it 
justice, I will write a full report.  At the moment it all seems like a 
beautiful dream and I am still trying to grasp all of it's splendor.  

For now, I will just report that I stopped by the Hardy Plant Society exhibit 
to see our Colin and he was unfortunately away at the time.  I did have a 
nice chat with Colin's colleague and saw the magnificent Himalayan blue 
poppies Colin grew.  (Colin, are you there?  So sorry I missed you. It was a 
wonderful exhibit and your plants were most impressive!)  

Stay tuned -- more later!  --Janis
