LOL, I've been guilty of ordering from Spring Hill before, so I'm not surprised. Filipendula rubra, Queen of the Prairie, should be hardy to zone 3, so that might survive - it does pretty well here, but I'm technically in zone 7. It does like water, as I just found out, about 10 years after planting it. IMHO, you should pray that the tradescantia is too tender; you may find yourself ripping it out (along with your hair) in years to come. Here, at least, it's ineradicable. I suppose by "grab bag" they mean "we randomly grab plants and shove them in a bag" - I hope they priced this selection accordingly!

Numbers 1, 4, and 6 for NYC are so true! I remember somebody asking if I'd ever been to Philadelphia, and I thought, Why would I want to go to Philadelphia? How chauvinistic can you get? LOL According to those descriptions, I live in the Midwest. I don't, but it comes awfully close (except for "at"). Loved the one about Colorado Granola!

This thread has gotten so long again, it's almost impossible for me to open with my slow internet. I just posted and deleted, so am going to start Covid Humor #3. Please post your new things there!

Here's to a negative result, Kathsgrdn! Our daughter has a friend who made an appt. to be tested. She went and still had to wait in quite a long line of cars. She got tired of the wait and went home. A couple days later she was notified her results were positive after not being tested at all.
