I'm interested in DAYLILIES, (including hybridizing), FRAGRANT plants, HEIRLOOM plants and COTTAGE GARDENING, PERENNIALS, NATIVE plants, and SHADE or WOODLAND gardening. I also have an interest in all the RARE OR UNUSUAL (flowers, bulbs etc.), and am keenly interested in rare and UNUSUAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. I also delight in EASY CARE plants and the occasional truly hardy finds of "TROPICALESQUE" plants. I garden in the Mid-Atlantic zone seven on the border of six and have gardenspace in sun and shade.
