Funny people around here wish they could grow the large-leaf Hebe, which typically freeze out over a cold winter.

Its a good compromise, I suppose: some plants are better then no plants. Extremely exciting that you found the last missing glass for your collection.

Glad that the vintage market had more "plant-centric" items, that's the general report I have been hearing. It always irked me that so much space was used for dishes and antique dolls rather than plants, so kudos for making it more about the plants. <br /><br />Nice haul too, by the way! Oh, and those fern tables? Richie Steffan from the Miller Botanical Garden will be teaching a workshop at Joy Creek this summer if you are interested. It's a cool class.

Fell in love with those planters (there were three but one sold) and almost bought one but they were kind of heavy and I'm lazy. Love the plants you bought. You got some great shots and took home some choice plants/stuff! I've had Spotty Dotty growing in a big pot for several years and it looked really crowded last year so just made it into four plants. We'll see if the surgery was successful as spring progresses.
