Bingo! It is definitely Penstemon. I had hit a dead end with this one, so I am grateful for everyone's help. Who knows; maybe someday I can answer a question or two. Cheers, Doug

Dave, bait a trap with pecans, these guys will eat even the ones we'd put in the discard pile. Raccoons will do almost anything for a nice pecan, including come right up and take them out of your hand if you give it a little time. I have a couple of them on my property but they never bother my garbage cans because I don't put food waste in it until the actual day of pick up. I freeze all meat scraps, bones etc, and the big bonus is that my garbage men love me, lol, my garbage never stinks.

Try Big Thicket - Amy - I know she raises plants. Also Marilyn Stewart of Wild Things Nursery in Seminole Oklahoma is a great person for answering questions. She has a website. I'll post it. Sandy Here is a link that might be useful: Nursery

Hi Sharon~ I know someone reputable that will deliver your car vehicle privately. Send me an e-mail if you are interested. Hope you like Connetticut. If you know someone who would like to return Megan's grandmother's clay pot, the private driver could coordinate that with with transport of your vehicle, and that would truly be a becautiful thing. Good to hear from you, will miss you at the garden sales and swaps : ) Best of luck, m
