I'm blushing!

I guess I'll do it then.... I think.

The post office is out to drive ME postal! It's true, we have no recourse and they're not worried about the health of the plants or how late a birthday present might be, etc. I have traced the package to one location and it was there the day after it left here. So then I'm left to wonder why it sits in one spot for five days! Super aggravation!

I agree with you, mittsy, about substitutions and I detest them and don't want them. When the excuse is made that they're more expensive that what I ordered it gets me crazy. If I want violet and then send an expensive white I'm left with a vacancy! Horrors! It means another order. Seriously, I do hate when they do it. I usually write No Substitutions in huge letters and I also tell them I'd rather have more of anything I ordered than have them select something for me.

I have many dark colors, catlady, and many light ones, too. From pinks to raspberry (violet) and purples to white, low to tall. It's hard to see the darker ones in this photo due to the location of the sun. The photo was taken from the kitchen that's why those reflections of roses are at the lower edge.

Siberians are lovely and I'd use them more if we weren't so totally possessed with planting about 1200 to 2000 plants during May. I seldom have time to see them but I do have a few. I have a friend who has a nice collection if you need Siberians next year. Maybe if I do sell she'll be inspired to sell, too.
