Looking back at my impatiens post, man..... hubby has to do some weed whacking!!! lol
unfortunately this computer is soooo blooming slow that i'm still in the process of getting the pictures off of the camera. I started downloading about 15 min. ago. :-( Wonderful impatiens Jen.
thanks for the info ngam. I love the idea of ones that glow at night!
Good luck with that Jen (the hubby and the weed wacking)
I was just going to post this picture at the end of the others, but since the computer is running sooooo slow I'll put the picture of the whole lot of the plants together now. Keep in mind..... just $33.95
WOW, great score. I need to get to my local nursery they have ALL nursery stock 50% off. WOO HOO!!!
Hey RC, I think we're the only ones awake.
nope i am still here too
:)
looks like some nice picks RC
Haha. Yep, sure think so. It always makes it a little more interesting that way.
So does the nursery that you're headed to have some interesting stuff? Let me know if there's anything that you would want from the little nursery that I went to (specialists in harder to find varieties of perennials). at those prices it would be worth the shipping to getting them to you!
A party!
hopefully some good picks. I just so amazed that they'll hold more for me until payday. I plant addicts dream! or maybe nightmare depending on how you look at it.
I'm trying to resize some of the pictures now so we can actually see what they all are.
Hi, Allison!!
The nursery I go to is HUGE!!! I love it.
That would be a long list of things I want. hee hee One thing I am looking for is something red, about 24-36", that blooms all summer. Maybe dianthus or a variety or yarrow for a dry spot that get hot afternoon sun
Ech harvest moon
Well, If the nursery doesn't have it... just let me know.
The one that I went to has both red dianthus and yarrow. 2.99 less 30% they might have a gal. of the yarrow for 6.95 then the discount.
unknown ech. It's not white or yellow, maybe it will be one of the interesting purple or pinkish ones.
guara "sunny butterflies" I think. I accidentally tipped the box of plants over and couldn't find the tag for it. Sheesh, noid already.

better look at the foliage
this might come back to haunt me. But if I have to get rid of it for being invasive, it was cheap.
However, it's supposed to be a behaved ground cover that is a good color for one of the beds.
this thing should be fun. It is supposed to be phlox goldmine and that's what the stem in the lower front right is. The back right has reverted and has already been pinched off. But, the back left stem is why I bought it. It might not stay that way, but if it does it will sure make an interesting plant.
another view of the weird stem
chamaecyparis L barry's silver ( only 11.95 then 30% off)
a close up of the foliage
euphorbia tasmanian tiger
little blanket flower that has been cut back.
little known ground cover that is good at being bright in the dark (shade spots). raoulia australis. I may have to get a few more.
close up of the strange little thing
Really, the offer stands if anyone wants me to looks for something there! well worth it. They have mostly unique varieties of perennials, lots of grasses, daylillies, but some some shrubs (again odd ones) as well!
JoAnne, this is the same place that I bought my heleopsis loraine sunshine from a few years ago. They are still growing some of it.

Thanks for thinking of me RC I have to stop buying plants for 2008 and see what develops in the garden for next season,
ROBINDOG is comming with plants in a couple of weeks and my neighbor has a list of things from her garden she will dig.
anytime. and Goodmorning.
Good morning RC.
Gunna rain all day, guess I'll finish my book.
RC....never seen raoulia australis before. Is it a slow grower? Got an area about 15' x10' I would like to cover. Any idea how many plants that would take to get good coverage soon?
sounds like a good thing to do. I don't mind summer rain. but here, it doesn't happen often and almost always comes with a good t-storm if it does. Supposed to be sunny and 83 here today (perfect!) and on it's way up to low 90's by midweek.
I'll start a new one....give me a second.
Actually I don't know that much about the plant Davic Paul, sorry. I've been admiring it only at a few nursery places. But, what I have heard is that it requires fast draining, loose soil, with organic matter. If the soil holds water... it will rot easily. (I intend to plant it in a mix of at least 1/2 perlite and then fine bark). But, once established it is supposed to grow outward at a pace of about 4" in all directions per year and it is considered a tough "steppable" and can survive drought conditions. So, sorry that's a little long, but that's what I've heard. The one aspect that I have seen first hand is the issue with a preference towards rocky/sandy soil, i have seen them die in highly organic soils.
Here ya go....bring your pretties here!
