Re: [SG] Sally & Brunnera

Hello Sally,
        I saw your list of plants below you are wanting for your garden and it
read like a list of what is in my garden. You sure are one super
intelligent lady with impeccable taste in plants;-))
        Question. What is a 'False Trillium'? New one on me. Could you be
referring to the Paris? What is a 'wort' garden? Wort is Old English for
plant.
        Looks like you may be headed in a direction with your plants I have taken.
Growing the local natives and then seeking out their related species from
around the world. Like all the Arisaema and the Polygonatums, Asarums, etc.

        If you are ever headed toward Southern Indiana please do take the time to
visit. You would certainly be welcome at my garden. There is always a shade
tree to sit under and something cool to sip.
