Pink Lady Slippers, as I understand it Bobert, grow only in symbiotic relationship with tree roots - I think oak - and rarely, if ever, survive transplanting. Annie has a yard full of them, but has never been able to move them.

The Komo Shekeboo you gave me has been in bloom for about a week. It is looking much better now that I am alternating the soap and neem oil about every 10 days. Seems to be more vulnerable to the lace bugs than the other azaleas, but I think if I can get it well established this year (2nd in ground) it will be better able to sustain a little damage. The other 2 azaleas are still in pots and doing well. One (the tag in it has disappeared but it was the one P-vine started from a cutting, not seed, surprised me by setting a few blooms - a beautiful, very pale, soft pink. The solomon seal is thriving as are the hellebores. The white hellebore you gave me is my favorite - so pale creamy! Ferns are doing really well also.

I want so much to get up to see your place. It will happen.
