Yep, you're right, Cinta. I'll need some cheering up by then. It's just what the Dr. ordered. I remember you telling us when you 1st saw it, that you'd be stalking it. Sometimes, I go to my local store to make a mental note of what perennials are blooming. Then I start planning if I want it and where to place it. When they go out of bloom, and plant tags get lost, they discount them. To the non-gardener (like my DH) it just looks like greenery. That's when I grab it (if it's still healthy), knowing it's a diamond in the rough. Sometimes, I'll even get a 2nd bloom if I deadhead them. I also ask when the next shipment is due to arrive, so that I can keep an eye out for when they discount the old to make room for the new.
