Other delphinium, in many shades of purples, blue to white are quite hardy for our Michigan climate and come back year after year in my garden. I bought them by the flat, tiny plants, grown locally.  "Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing." Shakespeare |

| Beautiful, Kathy! Gina, I think I knew that lantana was invasive in Florida because either you (or someone else) had mentioned that in a thread in another forum. Fortunately it isn't invasive here, and the butterflies love it. We do have invasives; Japanese honeysuckle, Japanese/Chinese wisteria, privet, bradford pear, ivy. A lot of what is invasive here are plants from Asia. “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |

| Lowe's had all types of roses, hydrangeas, some hibiscus. They are ready for spring here. A plant called skittle lantana caught my eye. It's a lantana with miniature flowers and variegated leaves. We also bought six purple angelonia plants for a dollar each on clearance. |

| I know there are marigolds at Wal Mart because I saw them at work yesterday. I have a part time job stocking Red Baron pizzas on the weekend. I raise my own from seed, but if these are out, they will have other annuals and perennials. I'm going tomorrow to check it out. “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |

| Wal-Mart today still had some April night salvia. They had mostly common stuff this time. Nothing too interesting. |

| Lowes has started to get annuals and perennials in. Walmart just has pansies and had some bulbs on clearance. Nothing else though. Home Depot is pretty bare still. |

| Just the usual here. I did notice Bonny racks set up. Some of the plants on them were freeze burned. “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |

| Ok, it's supposed to quit raining next week, plus warmer weather ahead. I guess a trip to Lowe's is in the works for the weekend. I'm really itchy right now, I haven't been able to work outside for ten days! “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |

| I haven't been away from home in 10 days. Wondering if my local mom & pop nurseries will still open and offer my favorites later this Spring. I sure hope so. "Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing." Shakespeare |

| I blew through the local independent yesterday on my way to pick up some takeout Indian food...I really am trying my best to just stay home, only go out for food and supplies but I could;t resist...I wanted a Buddliea (sp.? Butterfly Bush) for my butterfly garden and they had one color, purple, but gosh they were a whopping $19 in a 3 gallon! CRAZY expensive. I remember when that plant was $10 max. So I passed it by Award winning beaded art at ceinwin.deviantart.com! |

| I have noticed the steep price increase in all the plants I've looked at this year. Other folks have commented about this on other threads. Do the retailers think that we're made of money? The way things are going they are lucky to be selling any of them.Heck, they are lucky to be able to stay open! I know the prices were set before all this started, but it might be to their best interests to sell them at reduced prices rather than to risk not selling them at all. “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |

| I agree. I am a long time friend of one of the ladies who works at this particular nursery. She told me that they get their plants through a plant broker who tacks on a 40% fee, so its more expensive for them to buy them. That is why they no longer get anything 'cool'. If they can;t move it, they lose $$ Award winning beaded art at ceinwin.deviantart.com! |

| Lowe's had all kinds of plants when I went yesterday and it was jam packed with people. I have very specific plants on my plant list for 2020 and I didn't see any of these. I resisted buying anything until I came to a huge rack of succulents, my new plant love/obsession. I found a darling one that is a cross between a sedum and a Echeveria. It's called sedeveria. The cultivar is sediveria"Letizia." It has the Echeveria rosette shape, a bright lime green with red tips., and it has two flower stalks coming out either side of the rosette, plus a baby coming up from the base. Has anyone heard of these crosses? I'm wondering if it would be an outside perennial here, tag doesn't say. Most of the sedums are. “ Be kind whenever possible” 14th Dalai Lama |
