They have some nice little guys. Otherwise, I like Outcast.

The intro Belle Fille is amazing!!!! Woot!

Bad news for me is they aren't carrying Black Lightning, nor Patchwork Puzzle this year.

I really really want Clydesdale but $35 is a bit much.

I did make my order though. There were a few MTB's, STB's and BB's I wanted.

Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

I bought medians from them in 2013 and they have grown, bloomed, and increased well. Pretty flowers.

Good to know Paul. Most of my order is medians and dwarfs.

Anyone grow their Louisianas?

The more I look at Benedictine the more I fall in love.....

Chad Harris's new JI Columbia Crest is another beauty from him.

Check Superstition Gardens for Black Lightning. They had it last year & I don't have the catalog right here.

So to /chuck Chapman. It is his plant. He is late in getting his new list up. No trouble ordering from his garden in Canada. He sees them over the border himself. chapmaniris.com

Leslie, I ordered Black Lightening from Superstition. Check their catalog, page 26 fourth one down under SDB listing.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

It can get a little tall for an SDB but it has a beautiful Flower. Bonnie, it might rebloom for you. Not so in our area but it does at Superstition.

Aha -- I only looked under the alphabetized list. I never think to look under other classifications. Prolly because I never buy other classifications.......but still -- I should have caught that.

I'm glad that you did, Bonnie.
