When I parted ways with it and that woman said, "I didn't discourage you, did I?" I should have laid a guilt trip on her, and started crying and said, "Yes! You did." Then maybe she would have bought it for me. And, if she didn't, I could have just kicked her fat ass! Thanks again for inviting me!Fat Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427707544417251200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-43793441184274498212011-04-12T11:46:28.155-07:002011-04-12T11:46:28.155-07:00Still looks like a very respectable haul to me!

I have to admit, I'm stunned you left that poor A. utahensis behind...if any plant screamed DANGER...that was it ;-) Love those lanterns...I saw those too and kept on walking, lest I not be able to pay the mortgage this month!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-10721912980021766932011-04-12T08:48:31.880-07:002011-04-12T08:48:31.880-07:00Bianca, me too...hence the editing.

I saw you in a conversation with Maurice of Joy Creek, and wanted to say but didn't want to interrupt. I figured I would bump into you again but unfortunately did not.<br /><br />MulchMaid, I'm going to make sure my husband reads your comment.<br /><br />Mark and Gaz, thank you for the tips! I do have the white blooming Veratrum and was a little disappointed that it was still just the single stem again this year. <br /><br />Van, have you come down for the sale in the past? I'm definitely report on the Paris progress. This is my second plant as I have one from Cistus too.

It's a good thing that I couldn't make the trip down there.<br /><br />I'd love to hear about the Paris polyphylla. I've tried growing it twice and failed. I'm planting it one more time ... <br /><br />Love, love, love the Veratrum nigrum. My plants are just poking their noses through the soil. <br /><br />Thanks for mentioning my blog!Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092360454678917801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-46358479565700462612011-04-12T02:34:47.471-07:002011-04-12T02:34:47.471-07:00Some fantastic plants there!

Wow. Funny you say that about going back on Sunday. Since Megan was just getting back from vacation in time to do the show on Sunday I thought about calling her up and tagging along. But instead I went to lunch with the husband.<br /><br />Darla, uhm...this sounds like a fun project!<br /><br />Brian, THIS is pretty much my favorite blog comment ever! Wish you would have taken the chance (and threatened)...and of course that it was actually me you were talking to, not some lady who turned around and punched you!

And put it with my other plants in the holding area. But when it came time to tally up, that's when it went back.<br /><br />ricki, I have not...it's one of those "must do's" on my list.

The Paris, hot indeed. It seemed to be the <br />it" plant this year along with epimediums. Right now I seem to be buying vines, broadleaf evergreen shrubs, exotic groundcovers and of course: dicentras and corydalis. <br /><br />I almost went back Sunday with the whole family, just to look at garden art, but we were so tired in the morning thanks to midnight shout outs from the kids that we just went out to breakfast instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501301078027611367noreply@blogger.com
