    Toni,
    Great finds (or did they find you?)! I'm envious. I am also getting the "plant hunting" itch. Gee, thanks a lot . . . .

    Philip, I really hope that Foxglove does well. I try them every year, the bloom but never come back.

    Jacquelyn, I would never have a paycheck if I worked around plants. I worked at a fabric store when I was making quilts and usually just signed my paycheck back over to them each week.:rolleyes:

    Sjoerd, my garden hasn't been looking all that good this season but thanks . I couldn't get out there for about 6 weeks after hurting my back and then the rain stopped and the heat hit. It's in real need of a 'face lift'
    I pretty much know where they will all be going, but they might change my mind for me when I get out there and start planting.

    Glendann, I like the Coneflower too, I now have about a dozen of them since they do multiply each year.

    Cheryl, the neat thing is that I really didn't spend a lot for the whole bunch. Besides Calloway's having a good sale and the Buy 2 Get 1 coupon from HD, everything was on sale anywhere from $1 to $5 off the regular price. So you had better get shopping before all the good plants are gone. (doing an evil laugh and running in a zigzag pattern out of sight)

    Netty I love the Hosta too, it's so tiny.

    MG, they all just sorta popped up in front of my cart as I was walking up and down the aisles. Those tables always have the same things on both sides, on one side I wouldn't see anything I liked but on the other side one of the same plants would practically stand up and cheer as I walked by. I just couldn't resist that kind of enthusiasm for living in my garden.

    Now to get out and play in the dirt before the 100 degree days return next week.
