Thanks Pepper. I went to a Fall Plant sale there in Sept. 04'. It was interesting, my friend bought a Persimmon tree, it is the only thing still alive from that trip.
I don't remember any fights, but I remember these ladies were watching me trampling thru the off the path area. I was collecting Swamp White Oak acorns, I was careful not to step on anything else, unbeknownst to them. Those germinated very good btw. I also got some Coffeetree seeds from the parking lot that germinated too if I remember. I got seeds from the Cercis canadensis 'Alba' (White Redbud) on the walk on the way in, then it hit me they would grow to be straight Redbuds if they grew.
I haven't been a friend of Powell Gardens since 01'.
We went there last year for Mothers Day, maybe we'll go there again I hope, Powell Gardens is a nice place. I like the understory small trees that are growing in the shade there in that walk thru the woods. The Ash Magnolia in there is one of my favorites.
