Darrell Probst's original nursery is in Hubbardston, MA. Someone who worked with him for years has taken over the operations. It is "Garden Visions Epimediums" Go to website and email them for a newer catalogue. As Mindy mentioned they travel to other nurseries and 'events' but they have a few open days at their own nursery. I imagine the selection is much better on site. You can also order ahead for pick up on their open days. Have Fun, Marie

I do not personally grow Heritage, but there is a church on the next corner from my house that we walk by all the time that has one on either side of its sign. They are beautiful rose bushes, easily 5 feet high but they aren't nearly that wide, closer to 3' I would estimate. Sometimes I stop and deadhead them for the church when I am out walking with my daughter and my daughter now refers to Heritage as the "church rose."

Was at a church rummage sale and they wanted 49 cents for a baggie full of those small collectible-type spoons people get while on vacation and an assortment of silverplated demitasse spoons. There was also a pair of sterling cufflinks in the bag. So I figure I did pretty good at 49 cents for the whole lot.

Yes, the loss of heritage property is terrible, because it contributes to the loss of a sense of place and history that connects people to their communities in a way that no uninspired builder special can ever do. It also reduces the examples of fine craftsmanship that built those houses. I live in an historic area, and fortunately for the cause of preservation, the South was impoverished after the Civil War, and didn't really begin to recover until air conditioning. So development did less damage here than in some other parts of the country. But like everywhere else, too much of our suburban growth seems to have given us what my DH and I call the Unites States of Generica. You could be anywhere, and the lack of meaning and grace disconnects people from any sense of common purpose. So Sochi, I understand very well how much the loss hurts your soul. I hope they have whacking good insurance, and help from whatever the local heritage society and government can supply, and the stomach to restore it.
