"You're Planting That Old Thing?"

I enjoyed this article and thought I'd share. It's about certain plants that are currently out of fashion. Since most of us here focus on planting roses that are out of fashion, I thought it would appeal to you guys. Roses aren't discussed, but in the slideshow there is a photo of 'Dr. Van Fleet'.
