Yes, exactly.  New gardeners should also remember that inexpensive common
plants are both inexpensive and common because they perform well for the
big growers, and that they will also perform well for someone just starting
out in gardening.

Hey, Clyde:

How can I get a copy of this catalogue?  Is there a web site or address you
can pass along?  I have never heard of Tony Avents.


I was the person whom started this pulmonaria thread.  At the MPLS Farmer's
Market last weekend, I saw at least 5 or 8 different pulmonarias, and
though it would be lovely to try them all.  I'll be heading down there on
Sunday am, and I think I'll see what's available.

Thanks, all.
