That link didn't work for me .... try this one:

Not sure what made the difference - but that one goes through.

I just got a notice from Molbak's that Hinkley will be speaking there about Monrovia plants on Sept. 22. The talk is free, but you need to reserve your seating space. I have not been really impressed with Monrovia 'quality' in the past, but since this is free it might be worth the 5 mile trip.

Cool. Thanks for the article.

What is the heuchera? Caramel? Looks good.

Laurie, the heuchera is Amber Waves. I have two I think will need to be divided either this fall or maybe spring. One's is mostly shade the other mostly sun. They're doing so well I hate to mess with them as I wasn't too successful with my divisions this spring. My Caramels are both a pretty uniform dull gold color.

Beautiful Katymac!

KatyMac -

My Amber Waves didn't do well at all this year. While all the other Heuchera grew big, the Amber Waves is still small. and I only have one left, the deer didn't just nibble at it, they pulled the whole plant out!! Yours looks so nice - I may have to try it again.
