that you and others will see things that I do not. For example, Asters in a
June garden are weeds to me. Salvias were plants that I had little interest
in( except"May Night" and a white form whose name escapes me) and so many
seem to be zone 7, yet in a garden visit this summer I saw many bushy salvias
that kind of wetted my appetite. Immediatley acquired was Salvia gregii
'Azurea' which is blooming its head off as we speak. More to come in the
spring........
Ms Goodwin did have plants to sell however as I recall, only a few varieties
and those were common....as I recall.
Yesterday our hosta club, TriState, had their fall meeting (120 in
attendance) and Tony Avent was the speaker. I drove Tony to a garden after
the meeting and among other things, I mentioned my disappointment with
Montrose. I did not tell him I was tired of looking at Hostas :>)
