Re: [SG] cornus canadensi

Hello Claire,
        Thanks for all the tips on Bunchberry. I have the perfect area for them. I
planted white and red pine around 15 years ago and have been considering
opening up a path through some of the area to get orchids started.
Bunchberry, orchids and ferns sound great in combinations. Perhaps I will
also get that gazebo constructed beneath the mature cedars that form a
triangle halfway up the hill and overlooking the garden.
        One more plan on the list......   Gene
