Corrine,

I can bring you Hosta 'Honeybells', Carex 'Ice Dance', and Epimedium x versicolor if any of these interest you. I might be able to bring you a scraggly Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist' if I can get it out from under a shrub and you are in a rescuing mood. I would like to have a piece of your wanda primroses. Thanks!

I am bringing a bigger rig this time for more plants. Also planting the easy care plants in the gardens at Camp Berachah, so have lots of different sun/shade areas in clay & rocky beds outside camp buildings that need some TLC. I won't say no to plants that are going to improve those areas.

Teresa: yes to all you listed (bringing Vinca, anything else you'd like?)
Roxaboxen: yes to all (bringing Wanda, want something else?)

I will bring you some rosemary and I will have plenty of seudms -- mostly reptans and evergreen varieties. I will split off some autumn joy-ish ones today.

Look for me in a green Mercedes wagon.

I think I met you at the trade, right?
Or are there two Corrines?

Plantknitter,
I sent you an email response, but in case you didn't catch it. Yes, we did meet when you brought your tan bags to free area. Our daughter is a knitter/spinner, too! I gave bags to Marie later when I found her though at home I found a Tricytris in a pot inside another bag with her name on it. We've connected via email & she said to give it a home & just trade with her when it spreads.
