Spring is beginning to wane, so you have to forgive me if I take a fond look back at the last few months of what is turning out (between colossal snowstorms)

ReplyDeleteI am told that when Mrs. Willmot visited a garden she would sow seeds of Giant Sea Holly which is how this plant received the other name "The ghost of Mrs. Wilmont."
ReplyDeleteIf Giant Sea Holly is the ghost of Mrs. Wilmont then Iberis taurica must be your ghost. After getting seed from you I now have Iberis taurica appearing hear and there in my seed starting trays. :)
How painful to think of me being commemorated with THAT, James...but I have lots of Miss Willmott's ghost all over my garden. Come to think of it, one could do much worse than Iberis taurica! Which has swallowed up a whole corner of my rock garden...
DeleteIf you want to be remembered then Iberis taurica is a good plant. It is never likely to disappear. :)
DeleteI am still hoping Phlox Mary Maslin will again be offered for sale.
