I love Shooting Stars!  I planted 3 Dodecatheons last fall; looks like 2 
survived. Watch out for that mint - it's a mover.  L. Golden Alexander is 
very pretty and I grew it for years but as I recall it always looked funky 
later in the season.

Speaking of looking Funky...has anyone grown Aralia Sun King? For me, it's 
slow to start, then catches up looks gorgeous for a while then begins to fail 
a branch at a time, dying off. Eventually looks too bad to look at and cut it 
down. Comes back great though every spring.  Fungal issue maybe?  I had two. 
About 60 feet apart. They both did it.

This weekend there was a large plant sale by our farmer's market.  The 
Champaign-Urbana Herb Society, Grand Prairie Friends, and smaller vendors 
were all there.  I picked up a few things:

   5 Dodecatheon meadia (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)*
   1 Parthenium integrifolium (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)*
   l Ceanothus americanus (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)*
   1 Campanula americana (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)
   1 Pycnanthemum virginianum (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)
   1 Symplocarpus foetidus (Grand Prairie Friends, $4.00, qt)

   2 Trillium recurvatum (Plant sale, $5.00, qt)**
   2 Uvularia grandiflora (Plant sale, $5.00, qt)**
   1 Mertensia virginica (Plant sale, $5.00, qt)**
   1 Geranium maculatum (Plant sale, $5.00, qt)**

   1 Calamintha grandiflora 'Variegata' (C-U Herb Society, $3.00, qt)**
   1 Satureja montana (C-U Herb Society, $3.00, qt)*
   1 Mentha x piperita 'Candy Mint' (C-U Herb Society, $3.00, qt)*
   1 Thymus pulegioides 'Foxley' (C-U Herb Society, $3.00, qt)

And then I was gifted these by my wife after she stopped by a local nursery:

   1 Hosta 'Lakeside Banana Bay' 
   1 Hosta 'Orange Marmalade' *
   1 Hosta 'Fire Island' **
   1 Echinacea 'Sombrero Salsa Red' 
   1 Geum 'Blazing Sunset' *
   1 Lysimachia punctata 'Golden Alexander' 

Now that the weather's warming up, maybe I can get planting!
