A much easier list for me to come by, lately.  No new plants 
entering the garden, unfortunately.

I was sad when the Cypripedium reginae didn't come up after one winter.
It had grown into a splendid clump and shot up multiple flowers each
summer, but one year...  *poof*  It was gone.  :(

I lost a *lot* of plants to weeds -- our front flowerbed has been
neglected for two summers and a lot of the specialty plants in 
there are no longer with us.  This year I plan to dig them out,
stick them in a pile of wet mulch, and then dig out whatever weeds
I can and use Roundup on the rest.  I hate to use Roundup, but the
bishop's gout and golden groundsel have gotten so out of hand 
that I have to get rid of them.  Digging alone hasn't worked in 
the past.

Fortunately, the front flowerbed didn't have much that was rare for
fear of theft, but the losses sting nonetheless.  :)

Chris
