    Oh yes, and these are just a few other of the special little finds!! Of coarse you couldn't expect me to pass up these colorful Verbena either, could you? :sete_045:

    Very pretty Sherry. I really like the verbena. It's too early for our Lowes to have much yet so I enjoy seeing others great finds.

    Really pretty 'special finds' Sherry, the Verbena colors are very bright, just what I like.

    Randy is taking me to Lowes this evening in his pickup for 10 bags of mulch, 5 bags of potting soil....and most likely a plant or two. I think my red verbena bit the dust this winter I have seen no signs of it so far...guess that is another one I need to replace.

    Lowes is really getting some fine plants right now!! I even like to check out their mark-downs! I found a really nice Wave petunia marked down last year that made it thru the winter. Yay for Lowes!!

    Oh another dianthus fan!!!! :smt026 After seeing all those lovely verbena too I'm getting more and more desperate to visit a garden centre. :smt010 What a pity I promised Ian that I wouldn't buy any more plants until we were in Holland. :'(

    I have to have dianthus every year. In the twelve six paks I bought a couple weeks ago, three of them were dianthus. I have some that wintered over too. Dooley

    Mine never die!! That is what I love about them!! They just get bigger & better. I have some Dianthus Helen that are about ready to bloom!! I'll be sure to take pics. I see I am in good company with all of you Dianthus lovers!! The pink flowers to the left of this message at the lower part by the driveway are my dianthus that I planted last year. They bloomed thru the winter. They just keep on blooming!!

    I just got some more dianthus this weekend also. I will be on the look out for that verbana too. So beautiful. I love an assortment so you can have it all. 8)
