With the economy the way it is, I'm trying to get my mind set in a place where I can resist buying so many new plants, and you, my friend, are not helping one little bit! I have enjoyed drooling over these plants and if I try hard enough, maybe I can forget what I've seen. Yeah, right. Until the next time I see them, either here or in the Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-53223075820136441072009-01-20T05:14:00.000-04:002009-01-20T05:14:00.000-04:00Hi again Jodie, fantastic to see you in the bloggi...<B>Hi again Jodie,</B> fantastic to see you in the blogging flow once again inspiring us with plants :-D<BR/><BR/>Great stuff, as I read on and it was <I>I love/have/love/should be on the wish list ;-)</I> Mm… this year I really should plant astrantia, I have been thinking about it for the last couple of years.
