I guess it was late. I was going on plant searches all night till after 4 AM. LOL. The SF part you wrote went right over my head. Yes, I was Berkeley Bot. and I went solo to the Berkeley Bot sale. Lali beggedoff at the day before. She had ODed on the plants at the SF Arboretum Saturday. Boo to her. LOL

Oh it was so great. I saw Marilyn. Her section looked so good. I got so nuts. So what else is new? LOL. Then I went on to Berk Hort. Oh my, I had the best time there a few hours walking around in a my usual daze. I met Mr Annie Annuals and he was so helpful and so nice and so hot.

I bought 3 more Lapagerias at the Bot. sale. People had already grabbed the ones with such HUGE flowers but I got the reddest one, a picotee and a double red. I am such a plant pig.

My heart was a thumping as I waited on line to get in. And then Tom of Longs beat me to the begonias because some nice lady was chatting me up to join California Hort. LOL. I let Lali down there. And I knew Tom buys all his begonias there, he told me that at his open house. Oh well...............

I found this in the display garden at Berkeley Hort. I just know Pretty Sue that you are going to drool big time. I am on the hunt for it. I need it.
