Comments (6)Hi, I have 3 varieties of perennial salvia, 2 types of Louisiana Iris, and TBI 'Blue Suede Shoes.' I can send pictures. I would be interested in Campanula 'Cherry Bells,' Daylily 'Siloam Spizz,' White bleeding heart, and trilliums. You can e-mail me if you are interested in trading.

Comments (2)Sorry for your loss Dottie - 10' is big enough that it must be hard to lose it. I've lost some perennials to the drought/downpour pattern of some recent years but not a special tree. Hope the holly will be very pleasing....See MoreAfter four years, I lost Guacamole over the winter...
Comments (13)Gosh Ken, I feel bad after you worked up a great passion about getting after those voles....I just went out to walk around checking things out and came around the corner of the garage and all of a sudden my eye landed on my 'Guacamole' Hosta !! LOL Wow. I was dumbfounded. There it was, fully leafed out! I can't tell you how many times I have gone over to that location and looked for any sign of that Hosta. I had evidently lost my bearings because I moved a Chrysanthemum out of there early this spring and the Hosta was peeking out from under a Viburnum carlesii that had evidently grown forward more than I realized. It also had a very similar color to the carlesii. Maybe it was hidden until the leaves unfurled. Aren't these happy surprises in the garden great! lol Now I will have to move it in the fall and maybe divide it in two since I like it so much. Thank you all for commiserating! :-)...See MoreI lost a friend that I met online years ago.
Comments (14)I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, Auntjen. The way she died sounds so sad. The ray of light in all this sadness is how you have celebrated her life by sharing some of her charm, sweetness and good nature with us. We can feel her presence even in her absence, because of you. We can in a small way, all celebrate her life by reflecting on your story of her. Your post honors and thanks her for touching you so deeply through her communications and loving spirit. Shortly after a friend of mine died many years ago, I felt a compelling urge to get back into doing volunteer work. My friend had been an amazing social worker, and I was overcome with a desire to emulate her in some way, to extend some of the goodness she had offered to others. I know I haven't come close to giving what she gave to others, but the impulse to give back, indeed a compulsion to, was born from her death. Maybe sometimes fighting for a cause or embodying the values and concerns of a person who has died can help us to cope with their loss....See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
