RE: Bleeding Hearts

Hi Susan.

Already moved them.  I figured it couldn't hurt them too much as they are
pretty much in the stage one would buy them in anyhow.  They are only poking
their little heads out about an inch and a half to two inches (they're brand
spanking new).  I transplanted them Saturday and have kept them watered
daily since.  They look just fine, so far.

BTW, good to hear from you.  Haven't heard from you much lately.  How'd you
like the botanical name thing?  I'm also learning that there are many forms
of Dianthus, both annual and perennial.  Two of them are in one of my
perennial gardens (one being Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus...the other I
only know as Dianthus plumarius).
