Hi Gene,
Actually, I am a compulsive reader - every magazine that I have is
read cover to cover, at least once! Never know what you can learn! I
may have to arrange for some shade, I want the downy skullcap ( I
can't remember the Latin!) - such a pretty thing. I recognized my
epimedium only because I read about them some where - it was a steal
at $0.50 and is still lovely.
It was a good tickle to read a familiar name; I love to see nurseries
I know about in source lists and "knowing" the author is a double
delight!
