Campers and Flowers


Happy Campers
8-6-06 VERMONT: Two beautiful days in a row. Yesterday I bought 15 perennials at Browns: 4 Liatris spicata ‘Floristan Violet’, Blazing Star; 3 Hosta ‘Obscura’; 2 Saponaria officinails ‘Nina’s Dark pink’, Double Bouncing Bette; 2 Monarda didyma ‘Blue Stocking’, bee balm; 2 Shasta Daisy, Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Becky’; 1 Baptisia australis, false indigo; and 1 foxglove, Digitalis parviflora ‘Mild Chocolate’.

Today I planted, some this morning and some this afternoon, in between Judy and I visited Maggie and Lily at Hive, their camp, with a lunch of Chinese. The girls are both doing quite well, enjoying camp, going on hikes and canoe trips, what could be bad?

Oh yes, the plants mostly went into the propane tank bed and the hostas into the hosta bed that never recovered from the trauma of the trampling by the painters.
