LOL....wouldn't have been any need for ya'll to even go look at a 95% off sale at PDN 'cause I would have bought every darn thing....LOL Sorry about the confusion.


I bought the variegated tongue fern,tricyrtis White Wave and buddelia Evil Ways last year from PDN. This year I will have that variegated acanthus...I will...I will....I will. I buy plants as treats for myself for a long hard season of work ,growing and selling perennials and veggies at the market.

I grew hypericum Glacier from seed,year before last. It has great variegation.

Have tiarella Crows Feather...well it's babies any way. It crossed with some t.wherryii ,made seed and the babies I've grown out are pretty.I grow my tiarellas and huecheras in pots because every time I put in the ground,they disappear.


I do need to add...I want hydrangea Lemon Daddy. Tried to buy it late last year from vendor on the Marketplace but the deal went sour.
