Mini-Splurge
(paghat) expounded:
A few other interesting things included a couple additional trilliums, a
variegated solomon's seal, a pot-bound dwarf bearded iris that already
needs division, a Rhododendron stenopetalum "Linearifolium" spider azalea
from the same vendor who had "Koromo Shikibu," the "Linearifollium" is far
more strappy & spider-like for BOTH leaves & flowers where as "Koromo
Shikibu" has normal leaves & strappy flowers. We already had one
"Lineaifolium" & it's always been a favorite, & it's unique enough to
justify having it two places in the gardens.
Suddenly Granny Artemis shouted out "Time's up! We gotta go!" which meant
she'd figured out we'd just spent one-hundred dollars. Pretty neat stuff
for a prety low total! But if we'd wandered about for another half hour it
would've been $200, & we could barely afford the $100, so off we went. On
the way home we realized something we'd gotten smelled WONDERFUL as the
car was filled with a pleasing perfume. Turned out it was the "Koromo
Shikibu" so that has to go right on a path edge to appreciate its scent
Sounds like my kind of plant sale, Pag, and you're lucky to have a
budget watcher to help you stay away from too many sticky pots!  )
