All this talk of the distressed racks, I had 20 minutes to kill today and headed for Lowe's directly to the racks.
They had pansies low end at 50 cents each. I bought 2 trays. They weren't even in that bad of shape. They also had some red button gingers in 3 gallon pots. The foliage had gone a bit crispy, still a few small blooms on them to recognize. I bought 2, $5.00 each marked down twice from $30.00. I am smart enough about gingers to know those bulbs are down in the pot waiting for the real spring to come. They evidently were force bloomed for selling during the holidays. We'll take those out of the pots, divide the bulbs and put them in the ground. They will be fine.
I got one other plant I can't remember the name and will get that later when it's daylight.
Got all these and still made my 11:30 appointment!
