Hart, you're always on top of finding information. (Can you track down my H? Rumor was, he signed a contract in ND...but haven't heard from him in at least a month.)
Thank you!

What do you know about Lumberton, NC? I don't mean to hijack your thread. :-)
Here is one of my favorite purples this year, but I can't seem to get the color right in a photo. It's much deeper red-purple than it shows here, not so pinky. It's Gladiolus Plum Tart.
