Dang I wish I lived near you Chris - Hv Autumn Bride is on my wish list.  
I haven’t been able to make a full list of “didn’t make it” yet. Too much 
else going on and the New Hampshire weather has been down right chilly
(I’m in a turtle neck and jeans to survive a 11 AM lacrosse game in the RAIN.)
My local nursery has a $1.00 sale going on - got three Summer Pastel Achellia 
, two dianthus, and a Red Brandy rudbeckia. Plus as full price Ruby something 
or other Heuchra and Royal Ruby sempervivium.
The last two are potted up in a huge container along with the rudbeckia and 
some alyssum. 
Here’s hoping my Kent Beauty lives on!
