Great idea Bob!

Sounds good

I wanted to post pictures of the plants I got from Romence Gardens. They were outstanding! I don't think I have ever gotten as nice of plants from a mail order, and the packaging was also wonderful.
You couldn't even tell they had been in the mail! They looked as fresh as something you had just picked up at a nursery. Great Nursery!!!!!

very nice!!

Nice looking plants , what Heuchera did you get?

It's Autumn Leaves and the color is gorgeous!

I'm impressed! And how many days did it take for it to get to you Susie? What I mean is, how long were they in the mail? They sure do look fresh as if you picked them up yourself.

In the picture it looks purple , might just be my computer.

I talked to them on Thursday because they phoned and said that they were sold out of a couple of the Hosta I'd ordered and so I chose different ones. They said they could send it out that day and I would get it by Fed Ex on Saturday or send it Monday and I'd get it Wed. I went for that day but they didn't show up until right away this morning.(Monday) I was on my way out of my house for an appointment when the delivery man came so all I did was put it in the house and opened the box and had to go. They came out of the box when I got home late afternoon and they were lovely!

The new leaves coming out are red and the older leaves are purple with green undertones and more red on the underside. I really, really like it.

Those are beautiful!

I haven't placed my order yet, but they have more plants available in the fall that I'm interested in, so I may just have to order for fall.

I don't think you'll be sorry if you do!

Very nice selection of plants. The butterflies will be visiting you.

Wow! You did good! It's gonna be even more colorful at your house.

Awesome selections Jan. The people in your town will just have to come to your gardens if they want to see the butterflies.

Thanks Susie, I do love those butterflies! And the hummers too.

Have received my 3 happy and healthy Monarda 'Peter's Purple' from Almost Eden. They are currently acclimating to their new home in the back perennial bed.
