Hey guys,
I see you've been having quite a discussion here:)
Four more of those Woodsonii left the nursery today. Catching up on a few things around here and slowly exhaling after this weekend. Had a few women from a garden club up here this morning for about 2 hours. Have to get all the bird cages changed and I'll be caught up for the week with my 'other' duties that I got behind on. I'll be out your way pretty soon Karen, as soon as Sir Richard tells me when it will be I'll let you know.
Now Dale, what do you mean short season? Tsk Tsk Tsk... That's why you grow lots of them, then you have things blooming and changing in your garden year round, especially being farther south. Take Costus Barbatus for example (my favorite), the inflorsecence first shows signs as a red blush at the top of the stem around the end of February/beginning of March and it continues to grow through November, you get color almost year round just from that one plant, the yellow blooms are spectacular and yummy :) then that beaytiful spiral growth habit and petting the undersides of the leaves is better than having a bunny. Now, Pam & Molly am I lying? lol
Dale, email me at my leneobrien@aol.com address with your regular email addy and I'll send you my photo album, it's up to over 400 pictures now.
