Now for the grunt work of installing my 50 little already budding coums. I've
tucked almost half of them in amongst the roots of a big oak and under some
azaleas, just praying that the birds or squirrels won't think "freshly dug
earth...must investigate". They have a nice amount of variation in the leaf
patterns, colors magenta to light pink to (maybe) white. Arrived very
carefully packed--best job I've seen--from Sunshine Farms.

Glad to hear they send a good variety of leaf-type & flower-color. I
received the Sunshine Farms announcement of their sale even for MATURE
potted specimens, & was tempted because I do think highly of Sunshine
Farms, but I'm too broke just now, plus I've local-growers access to
unusual varieties (though mainly for two-year seedlings that sometimes
cost as much as Sunshine presently wants for mature plants).
