Hi there Judith,
I am so sorry. Life gets away from me sometimes.
I did make the trip and they were still there and they smelled the exact same -- Shasta gape soda. :)
While there, I met up with old friends and I even helped the couple who owned the garden with some weeding. In the autumn I will be making a trip bake where I was promised some divisions.
Life is so wonderful and thank you for this prompt to give you all an update.
Wishing you nothing but the best,
Benny
