Well done on your persistence, and What a Find!!! One of the finer aspects
of gardening is the the art of the great find...full price at the garden
centre can really put a damper on creativity and dreams of grand design. I
know want a bed devoted to lilies - priental, and daylillies. But the
cost is going to be high if I'm not lucky with my usual channels, i.e.
plant exchange sales, friendly neighbors, etc.
