Thanks for the heads-up KT! My mobile phone is old enough to do almost nothing but phone calls, but I do have an iPad and was thrilled to find that this is available for iPad as well as for the iPhone. Definitely the thing to have in hand when at the nursery. I have Clematis-on -the-Web bookmarked for clematis info when nursery browsing. Anyone have any good sources for perennial info to take to the nursery?

Michaels? The knit shop? I wish! I live in a fairly remote area. It's 30 miles to the nearest yarn shop, 60 to a Michaels. My very favorite shop is in the little town where my parents live (100 miles away), but lately we've been traveling up there after business hours, so I haven't been able to stop. Sort of glad, because it made it easy to convince myself to shop on-line instead and I think these are just beautiful. If I like the interchangeables, I'll be ordering the extra, longer cables for them, plus get some of the 16 inchers to add to my short circulars. I knit so many hats, plus I like a 16" for the sleeves on a sweater, so I'm working on getting a complete set of these from size 3-9. I don't usually knit on needles larger than a 9.

I went to No frills, one of the grocery chain's "seasonal" garden centres. I shouldn't have said "nursery" giving everyone a wrong impression. The deal was 2 bushes for $28. I just grabbed and never looked back..lol. I am debating at the moment to get westerland but the 2 pots they have are small plants. Then I saw About Face which I am also debating to get. Hmmm.....I need to check the other nurseries before I go back. Originally I was going to get 2 Julia Childs (after seeing Diane's beautiful photos) and 2 Strike it Rich. But then I realized I need to sacrifice other possible choices. I am hoping to check out other places before I make any final choices... I've always wanted Voodoo too since I seen her in a gardening book. The only thing is that she is supposed to be for warmer zones. I think I really need to protect this rose in the winter.

Irma, Bull Creek is a hunting preserve and always has been. The ecological part is just a extension of that. It was endangered of being closed next door to it is a ranch that was trying to trade other land so they could have bull creek. Thank god it didn't go through the land they tried to trade is already protect and they just want to get red of it. It also would have been a smaller size and would not have worked for hunting. Bull Creek does have a great Florida trail a suitable loop rd a nice but small lake to fish plus creeks. High land and wet lands. Oaks ,pines, Cyprus and lots of other things. I've been going there for 20 years and still have not seen it all.
