Jeff---

BES are very pretty and are the State Flower of MD.

BES also spread too fast and become "invasive". That may be the reason
people (and me) are not so crazy about them. They not only spread by seed--
but also by roots. A double whammy!

You have seen the picture I posted of BES consuming my front bed.
That started by a couple plants behind my pink Azalea bush...which looked very pretty.

Maybe instead of bringing you 2" seedlings--I should cut these back and pull them up
and that way you will have a head start with yours. What do you think?
I would do this just before the Swap so you can plant them right into your beds.
