My goodness, it must be Friday night out for everyone... out in the garden that is. As I soon as I got off work I headed out and now need a shower real bad. Whew, it's muggy.

I received the most delightful package from one of the hosta people in New York today. Bless her heart, she sent me one hosta she had raised from seed, I know that one was coming, but she added another hosta and 15 different packages of seeds off of her own plants. Columbine, digitalis, bleeding heart, penstomen, rudebeckia, celosia (the big cockscomb type) and others I still have to look up. I'm really having fun planning on where to put all of this.

I also went to Lowe's, just for potting soil, mind you, and sigh, came out with two new planters and a "Purple Lady Iresine." Now I get home and I cannot find this anywhere, so I'm not sure what I bought, but it was half price. :))

Any one have any ideas on what this is? Peg
