Wow, thanks a million to all of you! I got plenty of surfing ahead of me.

I was heartbroken at the closing of some of the nurseries I mentioned, and had developed a "phone relationship" with several of those proprietors.

Interesting, and sad, Pseudo, about the decline in horticulture majors.

Weerobin, that's quite a list! I'm looking forward to checking them out!

ViburnumValley, thanks for the Viburnum connection! I do like them, but was sorry to see a whole bunch of our native Arrowwood Viburnums die off in the last few years. I grew up seeing them in the fields, then several years ago noticed strange caterpillars on them, and they were stripped in a matter of weeks. So far, my doublefile and juddii (sp?) are fine, but the snowball, along with the natives, are long gone. Sorry, off topic, but the mention of viburnums got me started . . .

Anyway, thanks again!
