I totally agree with the Calla Lily one - I am trying them for the first time this year. I saw a "Naomi Campbell" in a catalog and fell in love with it. I couldn't keep my eyes off it so I finally broke down and ordered it. I noticed today that it is coming up (in a pot in my sunroom). I'll take pics of it when it is blooming this summer.

I sent this to my sister, and she wanted to know if they also have a list for what herbs mean.

That's the only list they had in the newsletter, jdee. Maybe someone else has seen a list of herbs somewhere else.
