Chris, you certainly are keeping busy planting!
Looks like we do like some of the same plants, If interested, here's what I 
experienced w some of them...
Anchusa capensis 'Blue Angel', from 2 different sources last year, bloomed 
well, then sort of flamed out, didn't return this year
Echinacea 'Pow Wow Wild Berry' was more vigorous than 'Pow Wow White'. Now 
third year, white is far behind Berry.
Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm' -I've had it for 20 yrs, 
always performs well, spreads pretty quickly.
Silene dioica 'Clifford Moor' grew gangbusters first couple of years, then 
just sort of disappeared.
Silene uniflora 'Druett's Variegated' quickly reverted to green.

I got a flat of Pussytoes today, Antennaria parvifolia.  I've killed them 
before, so this time I'm going to pick up some grit to make the soil leaner 
before repotting and planting.  Any other suggestions?

Kitty

I went back to that place with the $2.50 perennials and loaded up on some 
more!

A friend wanted to buy me some, so who am I to turn down free plants?

Here's what I grabbed today:

   2 Alchemilla mollis 'Thriller'
   1 Anchusa capensis 'Blue Angel'
   2 Astible simplicifolia 'Hennie Granfland'
   2 Ceratostigma plumbaginoides
   2 Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Tiny Rubies'
   1 Echinacea 'Pow Wow White'
   2 Echinacea 'Pow Wow Wild Berry'
   1 Geranium 'Johnson's Blue'
   1 Hosta 'Ann Kulpa'
   1 Hosta 'Dream Queen'
   1 Hosta 'Patriot'
   1 Hosta 'Wide Brim'
   2 Iris sibirica 'Snow Queen'
   1 Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm'
   1 Rudbeckia hirta 'Marmalade'
   1 Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
   1 Sedum spectabile 'Pink Bomb'
   1 Silene dioica 'Clifford Moor'
   1 Silene uniflora 'Druett's Variegated'
   2 Waldsteinia ternata

Probably 1/2 of these are plants that I've grown before and killed (usually 
the dogs did it), another 1/4 are plants that I just want more of, and the 
rest are 'why not'.

Anyhow, I thought I'd share.

Who else has new plants?  I know Kitty shared her list; anyone else?

Chris
