Quoting:Have all of you shady gardeners crawled under those trees for winter hibernation????

LOL, I'm still here!!! I've just been busy and haven't had much opportunity to check in but I'm back :) I think it's a busy time of year for everyone and I'm sure we'll see more activity over the winter months. I'm with you stormy, I love the color of Georgia Peach. That reminds me I've got to check and see how ours is doing in the new Heuchera Bed! I took some pictures of that area over the weekend but got so disgusted with the weeds that I didn't bother to look at the individual plants :(

Happy, I think stormy's quickly becoming the expert vole eradicator but neither she nor I have had success in getting rid of them completely. Neither of us have been successful in getting rid of them completely in our gardens and it's so frustrating :(

stormy, how dare you post such a deal and not give us a link! LOL It's been years since I've looked around ebay and after a half hour of searching this morning I gave up! I'd love to know more about that Ebay seller especially if he's got Epimediums :) So many questions, let me see if I can help.

Dutchman's Breeches - we have a few growing here and there in the gardens but they're so tiny I can't even remember where! On one of our trips to Michigan we collected the seeds and just spread them - easy :)

Tiarella 'Crow Feather' - have never grown this one but I think most of the Tiarellas seem to do this. They grow vigorously in the pots and should "look better as they grow". Pink Skyrocket did the same thing for us but straightened out once planted.

Shooting Star - such a pretty plant :) They usually bloom April-May in the gardens but unfortunately don't last that long. They're fairly slow growers but once they get established form a nice clump. The grow in dry shade here and definitely wouldn't like an area that's too wet.
