I cant go to the nursery for one plant, I always come home with something my garden couldn't survive without.<br /><br />That photo of The Digitalis and Scilla, the pinkish lavender one with the tall bell shaped flowers looks just like the plant I bought last year labeled a "Foxglove." Are they the same? I collected seeds from it but none came up. I sent some to a friend in Australia and hers did. Go figure. Beautiful scenes as always Grace.

Love that your sister has removed more lawn! We were both buying plants last weekend, you all over the place and my pals Alison, Vickie and I braved Hortlandia and some other nurseries. I so want to get to M and N as I always love their stuff at the sales. The other nurseries you mentioned sound great, too. 2.50 for gallon perennials?

I spent my birthday plant shopping, the weekend before my birthday was also spent that way. <br />I am also blessed to have some friends who are sharing their abundance with me. <br />Gotta go get some of those plants put in the ground.<br />I love visiting your blog.

But yes, isn't it a wonderful addiction? I can't say I'm exactly longing for rehab either, but I am developing sneaky ways to hide my habit from family members, which - I guess - is less than healthy.
