We were waiting for you to get here.
![]() Thanks for the dahlia offer, but I don't grow them at all. I don't grow glads either because I have to dig and store them. Are you going to have to store the dahlia tubers over the winter? Spiney Bear's Breeches is Agapanthus, isn't it? I should know that. (Duh!) ![]() |

Mike recommended a gem of a site there... I'm still browsing through it. For those of you in the Northern VA area, here's a really great place for daylilies, hostas and azaleas. They're only open to the public a few weeks out of the year, but they are definitely worth the trip. Beautiful grounds, very helpful and friendly owners and staff....

My favorites are scented flowers. Lilacs, sweet-peas, lilacs, freesia and did I mention lilacs.
Wilderness, or anybody with info on an everblooming lilac please let me know. Although it would take away from there spring tradition I could handle having some all summer. I grow lilacs for sale and should write a book about the stories I here of people's childhood, parents, grandparents and hometown memories. Tears and gasps are very common. ![]() LILACSLILACSLILACSLILACSLILACSLILACS |

Beautiful! Lilacs are so easy to propagate by cuttings. It's special to be able to share a favorite with someone special. I've received cuttings from a dear (elderly) friend that I cherish (the friend and the lilacs!!!).

Hey I am new to starting flowers from seed this spring. I just planted marigolds, sweet peas, and some wildflower mixes. Am also going to start Alaska Shasta daisy. I have started lavender as well. I usually buy Patunias and what ever else the big box store has but this year I thought I would start my own and save some money. Now I am trying some cooler flowers by cutting back
