I swear !! and it is amazing just how quickly stock is sold out .. I was shocked, so I am happy to have the ones I want on reserve ! thanks !<br /><br />Darla .. I wanted Green Envy for years !! the iris is a fluke because it is so dark (chocolate garden ?? LOL)and that advice you gave me about "step away from the computer" it just won't stick to me! hehehehe<br /><br />Marguerite hello there : )<br />How true is that !! I need to work in some good compost etc ... into the beds .. let alone cut a clittle more out and here I am loading up on plants and knowing full well that when the garden centers open .. they may be a few more I can not resist .. resistance is futile right ??? LOL<br /><br />Kate girl I so enjoyed your pictures from Italy !! I dropped in again and saw the masks for carnivale and they are gorgeous .. yes .. the plant addict (hey , I should have called my blog that !!) is at it again ?? LOL<br /><br />Carrie girl I have meant to do an e-mail up for you .. asking if you got my picture ? and checking up on your little Eden garden at home .. it is coming along isn't it!

I really real...It's so difficult isn't it? I really really really wanted to order so many plants this spring. Ornamental grasses, ferns, hostas, but I resisted and only seeds were ordered. I haven't got a single bed to put all those plants in and I had to give myself a stern talking to. Work on the beds this year, order plants next year. But I know, and you probably do too!, there will be spring plant sales coming up and those will be next to impossible to resist...Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-72762062304976191152011-03-11T10:22:52.039-05:002011-03-11T10:22:52.039-05:00Green Envy is just over the top gorgeous...and I l...Green Envy is just over the top gorgeous...and I love that Iris!!
