Had to just stop by and tell ya I got to order some new books for my birthday, (Amazon.com gift card from my daughter). Was thinking of plants (gosh I must need another hole in my head...lol) but then decided on books instead...
1. The Flower Farmer, An Organic Growers Guide to Raising and Selling Cut Flowers by Lynn Byczynski
2. Specialty Cut Flowers: The Production of Annuals, Perennials, Bulbs and Woody Plants For Fresh Cut and Dried Cut Flowers by Alan Armitage
3. Color In My Garden, An American Gardener's Palette by Louise Beebe Wilder
4. What Happens in My Garden (American Garden Classics) by Luise Beebe Wilder
5. The Fragrant Path: A Book About Sweet Scented Flowers and Leaves by Louise Beebe Wilder
6. The Unknown Gertrude Jekyll by Gertrude Jekyll
7. Gertrude Jekyll on Gardening by Gertrude Jekyll

Who knows...maybe I can use the info in books 1 and 2.
Books 3,4,and 5 are by a gardening Legend! Or should I say an American Gardening Legend. One of the first women in American landscaping.
Books 6 and 7 are a British author and another Legend in her own right.

Now that I've grown a wide variety of plants I can actually follow along with what they are talking about....both authors are from the previous turn of the century, ok, maybe not quite that far back but close. I tried reading #3 more than 20 years ago and got lost..lol, or I wasn't ready then. When she started talking gilly flower, egads, atleast now I have the computer to help me with some of the names and terms.. lol.

Gosh and I could have gotten some more Iris..lol. (Might have been easier).

piz: Passiflora incarnata: Pasion Flower Z(5 roots)- 9 or 10, take a close up look at this one...flowers are truely miracles and the fruit is even edible.
