It was a great outing and I appreciate JoAnn organizing it all - and such a good job with name tags and a preview menu!
Wolfskin was a bit of a disappointment, so you didn't really miss much there. I did get a Milky Way Cast Iron plant for $4 /1 gallon, which I think was a real good price. And a 4" pot of Coreopsis Sweet Dreams for $1.75 plus an Ironweed species I was not familiar with.
I did go a bit wild at TAT with Salvia Eveline (bi color pink, who knew?) and S. vanhouttei (gotta have that burgundy/red); 'pink chablis' caryopteris and 2 japanese Anemone (Pamina and Little Princess). I have just discovered the conditions on our property that allows me to grow these beautiful plants so it's a new addiction I guess (great, just what I need!). I also bought Peacock Orchid which I promptly divided into 3 and planted yesterday with my purple smoketree.
I remembered to use my 10% discount card (as did Becky). Do the rest of you have that? It's from being a subscriber to Georgia Gardening magazine.
So it was great! I still need single peonies and have not found any locally. Any ideas? I want 2 - a white and a pink single (as opposed to the doubles I keep finding -- and have).
The Magnolia cafe was great and now we know where to go on future TAT expeditions. So nice to meet you all and thanks to Danita for the gift plant. Yeah!! My DH said when unloading the truck - where are you going to put all these plants? I had no answer.... :)
I really enjoyed chatting gardening with like minded people. Let's do it again!

Anyone for a TRIP to Thyme After Time near Athens?
Elaine,
Any time you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to go to Thyme After Thyme I'll be happy to meet you there, but we'll all have to get together again!
Joann
Thank you Joann. If I get a chance I will get in touch. I would love to.
