Re: Scabiosa, now QA Lace

Eeeeeeeeeeee!  Must have these plants!!!!  Marilyn, where did 
you find the Anthriscus?  Thanks to the CT contingent, I now 
know how to get in touch with Natureworks for the Patrinia.

I'm curious about what she means when she says a "new" plant.

Marilyn, since you grow the T. aquilegifolium, do you grow any 
of the others?   They are just as terrific:  easy, lovely, 
combine well with just about anything.

TIA,
