Hi Chris!  (CHRIS:  Computer died. Lost my entire address book. Please write 
me)

Today I went to a local hardware store and found lots and lots of quart and 
gallon-sized perennials for $2.50 apiece.  I loaded up:

   1 Ajuga reptans 'Silver Queen'
   3 Armeria martima 'Nifty Thrifty' 
   1 Dicentra eximia 
   1 Heucera villosa 'Autumn Bride'
   3 Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain'
   3 Heuchera Kira[TM] Evergreen Forest
   1 Heuchera 'Lime Marmalade' 
   2 Heucherella 'Gold Strike' 
   2 Hosta 'Ann Kulpa' 
   2 Hosta 'Moonstruck'
   2 Hosta 'Praying Hands' 
   2 Hosta 'Queen Josephine' 
   3 Hosta 'Vulcan'
   2 Lewisia longipetala 'Little Plum' 
   1 Lychnis viscaria 'Splendens Fire' 
   1 Nepeta x fassenii 'Kit Kat' 
   2 Origanum vulgare 'Kent Beauty'
   1 Phlox paniculata 'Nora Leigh' 
   2 Prunella 'Summer Daze'
   1 Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
   1 Sedum spurium 'Tricolor'
   1 Sempervivum 'Kalinda' 
   1 Sempervivum 'Royal Ruby'
   1 Sempervivum 'Silverine' 
   1 Sempervivum x roseum 'Ruby Heart' 

A lot of these are old friends in the garden that I'm duplicating in another 
new location, second or third chancers following an untimely death in another 
growing season, or just fillers.  

It was nice to get a bunch of inexpensive plants to replace the ones that 
died last year -- mostly Hosta in pots.

What new plant friends have you acquired this year?  Or what perennials were 
you sad to lose this winter? 

Chris
