Toby said that 'Patent Leather Shoes' looks really good for him this spring. It is getting VERY dark and shiny for me too, just like its namesake.

Now if I can get a foot wide one.....

Kevin wildly exciting!!! Also can't wait to see what you have coming along!! I know the location of the bed I want to see first but can't remember what the cross is of - I know there are several rows of them and I was surprised at the many differences in the seedlings from the same parents! I tip my hat to you.

Way to go Chris. Have you posted on Facebook yet about your secon introduction?

I will create an entry for this beauty as soon as I know for sure how it should be entered. Zuzu will help me with this.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the first ever patented sempervivum. Hurray!

Well Tim, you will be meeting him in person next month. He is our very own energizer bunny. Sure wish I had just a fraction of his energy and enthusiasm. It will be so good to see him again.

Does he have a commerce website? Greg mentioned greatgardens.com but that domain is up for sale it looks like. Is it GreatGardenPlants.com?
The clinic just keeps getting better and better.

It is such fun isn't it Julia? And of course we have some exciting mystery guests coming too.... have you figured out who they are yet? Greg, Patty and Julia will be guessing all the way from Seattle!

I'm just waiting on Robert's to choose their types of salmon preparation so I can finalize our dinner choices. We're trying for four entree and 4 dessert choices.

For lunch at my place I'm debating between a few things but may do soups and salads this year since we'll be doing the banquet starting at four. I'll try to give enough options so that even with food allergies everyone will have something to eat.

I have some ideas and hopes for the mystery guests. Should I be brushing up on some German?

Every year this gets more exciting. Thank you both, Lynn and Kevin for this. Look forward to this all year.
