Gita, thanks again for the begonias, I love them :) and Holly, please send a big thanks to your friend for the black pussy willows. I still have them rooting a bit more -- so far, so good

I discovered a great garden spot yesterday...Meadowbrook Farm in PA http://www.meadowbrookfarm.org/aboutus/aboutus-test.html. The estate was gorgeous and used to be owned by Alice Herkness and Liddon Pennock (a very prominent florist in Phila). The Pennsylvania Horticulture Society is involved with it now. I can't wait to go again someday. We purchased a few fabulous dark chocolate plants that I've never seen in our area. And Gita, you would love it, they have a greenhouse with just begonias (and ferns).
