Hello Nancy,
Yep... still out here. Had the busiest spring we have ever had here and just now getting a chance to come our and play. Guess I was waiting for someone else to start a thread.
I just completed (?) my rock/alpine garden project. Lots of wonder stones my wife gave me for Christmas and birthday this winter, plus the rest of the stones I had to go purchase to complete the amount needed. Nice sized stones of limestone that looks as though rockworms had eaten holes all through. Traditional soil mix of granite grit, sand and old potting medium. I have the first of my collections transplanted into the new garden now. Waiting to see what survives and then begin the second list of plants for this fall or next spring. I am working on plants that want some degree of shade, at least in the afternoon.
So... what new plants have come home with you this spring?

Does this list still exist?
snip.......
My other interesting experience from this rainy spring/summer is that all my caladiums are blooming. This has happened before but never in such magnitude. My caladiums are pink ones (in the 'Florida' series) and the blooms are actually quite lovely.
