You all probably thought Kassia was kidding around, but she really was on the phone with me when she posted earlier. she called and asked DH if I was out in the garden somewhere under a rose bush and never coming in, I think. but I was here, not gardening at all, so I got to talk to her. she's so cute...coming to visit me in July and I can't wait to meet her in person :0)

I totally wore myself out yesterday searching for viburnum carlesii and flowering quince (didn't find either) in 90* heat with an ozone warning at a very large nursery. not too bright, huh? I did buy a 'Moondance' rose and a few herbs (Roman chamomile, garlic chives and silver thyme). so all I did today was water the 25+ roses and billion+ seedlings that need planting. I ordered my viburnum (switched to 2 V. dilatatums) and a 'Cameo' flowering quince, and a bunch of other stuff from forestfarm.com

pixie, you still around? forestfarm had 'Jan's Wedding' (a rose pixie found for me) so I ordered one. It's the only place I've seen it, so I couldn't pass it up, could I?

I stayed in, so here's what's blooming inside. gotta keep you all entertained until l_s shows up...keep the faith!
