If you decide to take the plunge, MaryAnn....I know where you could probably find some! Bonnie is correct! Those old timers that are still with us are here because of a form of "natural selection"....they have stood up to borers, soft rot, and leafspot...they seem to thrive on neglect, bloom their hearts out despite too much shade, too much water, and too many weeds! What they lack in frills and lace, they make up for with a simple elegance and a tailored form... I tip my hat to you. ...Arlyn
