Wow nice choices Teri and Celeste Thumbs up
Teri I looked up the Phlox Peacock and it's a beauty, color really looks like it will stand out!

I want to order some fall bulbs from the co-op but I'm afraid I won't be able to get them in come cool weather Confused

Ronnie, I have a few seedlings of 4 varieties of morning glories (which I hope are still alive when I get home). I think of you whenever I see the different types of morning glories because I didn't know such beauties existed until you sent me some seeds. Now I'm hooked!!

Hope they are okay for you Teri. I have quite a few started but I am going to keep them inside for at least another week or two.

Got my Caladium from him a while ago. I was actually worried that something would happen to them because they'd need to stay in the bags so long. My Boomerang Lilacs, Autumn Jazz Viburnum, Ghost Weigela and the Santa Rosa order arrived and all need to be potted up.

Yeah Allison that's what I thought about Select, have ordered from them many times. I even double checked the date on the email because I thought it was so strange.

I didn't order any caladiums this year just did the ones from Lowe's and Walmart...what a difference...they were okay but the bulbs don't compare to Bill's.

Only see life on my huge old Butterfly Bush. Nothing on the others yet. I guess the Crape Myrtles are either waaayyyy late or dead. I think I need to move my potted up Mountain Laurel to a different spot. It was not as sunny in the present spot when I planted them last year. Stayed green thru the winter, but the leaves are beginning to turn and I think that's because of the sun.

I see a lot of growth at the bottom of my BFB and a few leaves on top but very little. I have no desire to cut them all down now Blinking I'm just seeing growth on one of my Crepe Myrtle but not the other. My neighbor lost both of his Thumbs down

My Select Seed order looks good, opened them up and watered them well, out on the porch waiting for the rain to stop.

My Butterfly bush planted last year only has new growth at the very base the rest looks pretty dead. Thinking I should prune the dead away to allow for the new base growth. My older BFB at a different location is thriving with new green sprouts all over it. Lots of dead to cut out from the Rhodo and a few other bushes. My heather bush is just now starting to green up some after being heavily buried in snow all winter.
