Oh gosh, I just bought my first fairies for the fairy garden and the door and windows and this cute flower shop planter....I am in SOOOOO much trouble with this stuff!!!!!

nice!!!!!

Hope they keep the prices small!

Thanks, Pirl, for the info.....Johnny's of Maine also has mini packs for some of their veggies that I've ordered.

Found a miniature rusty watering can for 49¢

Jen, I'd love to see photos of your daughter's garden when it's finished....something I'd like to try with my granddaughters.....

Ordered from Avant this morning. My first time ordering from them.

and the order was for???????????????????????

You wont be sorry. I ordered ferns and epimediums and they lept forth the first year.

I forgot that part, did't I? :)

physocarpus 'nugget'
viburnum 'aureus'
and sedums: 'mentha requein', 'tokyo sun', 'orange ice', 'makino' and 'chloroticum'

I want to try the sedums between stones in a path. The thyme that was there didn't make it.

Just planted Aureus (FW) this past fall.

Sedum Orange Ice is on my wish list.....has anyone grown salpiglossis? I want to try Kew Blue, but don't know how hard it is to germinate.

no I haven't RD... but boy are those neat looking

I've never grown salpiglossis but was eyeing them at a GH last summer, some are very uniquely colored.

I just sent in an order to High Country Gardens, a first for me, as I try to order closer to home but they had a few things that I have been wanting especially the Geum triflorum and the Pulsatilla Alba. I am trying to finish up a nice order to Avant and am still working on my Japanese Maple order/wish list as well as an order to Bluestones. Taking too long, but I am doing the entry work as I go so I don't double order as I did last year on a few things.

Victor, I keep checking to see if Fairweather is open yet, but no luck. Patti

Echinacea palida 'Hula Dancer'
Cytisus purgans
Rosa hugonis ‘Father Hugo’
Lilium philadelphicum
Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Alba'
Rosa 'Darlow's Enigma'
Baptisia australis v. minor
Geum triflorum

Yes, Bob told me he is behind schedule.

I was looking at that rose Darlow's Enigma as well, Patti.....you'll have to let me know if you like it.....

Victor, Please be sure and post FW when he open's it up. I failed to order from him last year and there where plants that he had that I still want. I liked what I got the year before. Patti

has anyone ever ordered from broken arrow nursery in ct?

watchdog gives them good ratings.

I haven't.

Wha, Nope. But I will check them out as you generally find good stuff and I want to keep the faith.

I sent in a fat order to Avant last night, so back to work on my Japanese Maple list as soon as I finish doing the entry work on these new kids. Thanks Mom for the Christmas Gift Check. She also treated me to a few other orders. I just called to Thank her, but she was almost too busy to talk....almost 97.

I am planting a newly cleared area so I neeeeeeeeeeded some of the shrubs and trees and have also taken a real liking to Epimediums, so those where added to go under some of the existing Japanese Maples.

I also ordered a couple of special Arisaema (Arisaema flavum ssp. abbreviatum & Arisaema triphyllum, Mrs. French's veined Form) from Ellen Hornig over at the now closed (VERY SADLY)Seneca Hill Perennials in NY as I am trying to get a few colonies of those growing as they are too cool to not have. I had good luck with her A. candidissimum last year, but no photo, dang. Patti

bbrook I think you'll like your order from High Country. They ship really well with the packing and the plants are very healthy.

My want list keeps changing but I'm pretty much set on Eragrostis (love grass); geraniums 'orkney cherry'; double jewel; lavender pinwheel and laurence flatman; sedum 'picolette' and 'sea star'. I'm also ordering some perennial seeds both for winter sowing and early starts. I'm growing some annuals for dry flower arrangements for DW and friends although I do have to order some german statice and sea lavender in quantity and I found a place on the west coast which stocks it in 6-packs!!!!

WOWSER there are some very fabby things on your lists! I have narrowed my orders down to a small book; need more pruning as I WILL reorganize some beds before I jam more stuff in more 'research plants' I WILL TOO! I found saliglossis very easypeasy to grow from seed but it didn't show very well in my garden. Maybe it's more of a "in a container in your face" kinda flower?

thanks, but now I am in trouble as:
