Tom Johnson is MidAmerica Gardens -- and he represents Paul Black's new introductions. I was under the impression that they are business partners, of sorts........

Cool Linnea!!! BTW -- did I ever tell you that my Mom wanted my name to be Linnea? After I was born, she kept waiting for them to bring in the paperwork to name the baby -- and they didn't -- so she finally asked -- and was told "oh, your husband named the baby already". She asked "He did? What did her name her?" And they told her "He named her after you -- Mary Ann".

It seems that he was late to the hospital, and by the time he got there, I was already born. So he thought it fitting that I be named after my mother. Lovey dubby And so I was.

The story became part of the family lore -- and so a generation later, my sister named her middle daughter Kaitlyn Lynnea. It's a beautiful name -- and is the name of a Swiss mountain flower. :smily:

Cool beans on the swag from the Maine Iris Auction!! Thumbs up
