Good advice, Janie...

Raining here today but 'sposed to be in the 70's...

The plant sale is in the covered parking deck of the hotel... We were abgle to secure 80 trillium which will go quickly... I only have one yellow at home so I hope to glam one of them... But we have the white and the more common maroon, as well...

Some lady from Tennessee sent 100 native deciduous azaleas grown from seed... They are about 18" tall and only $10 so I'm gonna get one of them as well... Then there is a table of dwarf iris which are all white blloms 'cept one has a sport with some purple in with the white so we'll try to hide that one as well...

As for shady stuff... Like maeve, we have lots of the pulmanaria... Great woodsy plant that spreads nicely... We also have patches of blood root which is abot to give out in terms of the bloom... The black kohosh is coming up all over the woods...

As for today, the P-Vine has a 2 hour board (bored) meeting at 2:00 so I'm gonne get away and find me a geetar shop to check out... I knopw of one down in Falls Church but that's a haul from here (45 minutes) but if I can't find nuthin' closer I may have to do that...

BTW, Janie, I gotta an azalea that I'll grow you a cutting vfrom this year that will knock yer socks off... I'm gonna find out it's name today...
