Wow Jill you have quite the collection there. Congrats on your new Redwood. I think one should be in every yard :)

Plant addict story of the day (seriously, I have a problem): I went to the local nursery to get another bag of Biotone and some Neem. I ended up looking around at some plants (big surprise). I know a bunch of the people who work there so I did a little catching up. I found a purple monarda, which I've been looking for casually since the beginning of summer. Just then, someone I know says, hey Jeff there's a $80 Bracken's Brown Magnolia in the yardsale area for $25! I say, sure I'll check it out, doubtful that it will pass muster. Much to my chagrin it was a very nice specimen for the money. They also had an $8 one but they were both huge 5 gallon pots and I figured if I was digging the whole I might as well put the best one in. So I went home with it. I didn't need it that's for sure but I shoehorned it in somewhere :)
