I don't know what we would have done without them pirl. They have done a wonderful job with classification which is used pretty much internationally now except for Britian. I shudder to think what it would be like if every order was a crap shoot about what you were going to get!

That would definitely not be on Martha's "good things" list if it were all a crap shoot.

As it is the HD's of this world give us enough headaches. I plant by color so the dahlia that is supposed to be red and yellow mixed is just solid red. It's still pretty but not what I wanted there. It was also supposed to be 4 to 5' tall.
