RE: Hi

Gotta tell you our sale is amazing - we have several true collectors, as well
as the former head of horticulture at the Royal Botanical Gardens who has
herself an extensive collection of rare and unusuals,  etc. etc. These folks
donate unbelievably generously.  Since I'm moving in a month I've potted up
some treasures, and have had to talk to myself to leave other stuff behind.
But I do know that I can get splits from others. Of course new garden is about
10 percent the size of my current one. I'm going to  have to learn to be
selective. I have taken some of my favourite daylilies though heaven only
knows where I'll put them. Was stong with the Brunneras and only took Jack
Frost but I really weakened on the epimediums...
