I didn't buy alot, but I am very pleased with what I found Big Grin Quite a few plants that have been on my want list for a while.

Lysimachia 'Beaujolais' - this ones a real knock out!
Ceratostigma plumbaginoides(creeping leadwort)
Fragaria vesca - very pleased to find this since the seeds I got didn't sprout!
Aquilegia 'Songbird Bunting'
Viola cornuta 'Victorias Blush'
Rudbeckia 'Herbstsonne'

also got some annuals to get some of the containers going and nice little Streptocarpella 'Concord Blue' for the lightstand. Almost bought an orchid, a Vuyl Linda Isler 'Red' with FIVE spikes but I was there for perennials and the roots looked kind of brown Whistling

The Bletilla striata are in full bloom here right now, today's crop is a bit drippy though.

And this pink Azalea is my favorite, always puts on a nice show when the other Azaleas are winding down.

I adore the variegated white!!!! Your azalea is gorgeous. What a show!
My bletillas are in bud but this rainy weather had me bringing in the pots to dry out some. They were soooo wet.

The yellow magnolia has started to bloom. Glad I took pics since we are having a downpour as we speak. It's sposta be sunny on Sunday, then rain through Wed. Where is the light? Even the plants are disappointed....

Did I mention that the dog that bit me at Chapman's Orchids last year died? Yep, we went in there all anxious and Charlie said he had died. I told him it was probably due to all of those chemicals I used to spray on my roses. Big Grin
