Me, too. :(

Almost all my Sibs tend to be taller than the checklist
indicates...for instance, High Standards bloomed at 46"
in '98. Altho' Dreaming Yellow seems to be shrinking every
year...it is being left at my old garden so the new owner
can deal with it.
>(Zone 3, with daffs, some tulips and pulmonaria blooming now)
I know we have at least Jody, Karen, Shauna, Ginny, Juri and
myself in Zone 3 (Ginny is at Zone 2/3)...I am still gazing at
green daffs and tulips...I know Jody will tell us she has daffs
blooming (I purchased my daffs from her so it can't be the
variety :) - perhaps it is the gardener? I still have some
crocus, I.danfordiae and I. reticulata in bloom and some lovely
bright blue small flowers that I need Jody to stop in and look
at and i.d. for me...
Planted six Sibs yesterday...four from Borglum. I bid successfully
on Salamander's Crossing at the Region I's Judges' Training on Sun.
Thank you Marty for bringing those wonderful potted intros. I also
bid on Riverdance but didn't get it. :(
Cheers,
Ellen
p.s. Also have my two Chinese knives in case I am attacked in the
garden, I will be the victor - they look deadly.
