They sure have a lot of unique stuff, and they always send decent sized plants. Good luck coming to a sane total...your "fantasy list" should only run you about $400. ;-)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-59674981889274484582008-01-07T23:48:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:48:00.000-05:00Ewa ~ I think the zones are the same.

It shows almost all of Poland to be in zone 6, which is warmer than here where I am. There's one corner of Poland showing in zone 5, so yes, that yucca would be hardy to your zone.<BR/><BR/><B>Barbara ~</B> I actually like getting all these catalogs. Yes, I might spend a bit more money because of it, but it does keep me apprised of what's available out there.<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa ~</B> I'm in zone 5b, too, Lisa and I would try it. Maybe I <I>will</I> try it! Oh wait, you said you were in 6b, so it certainly would be fine for you!<BR/><BR/><B>Kim ~</B> Woo hooooo! Good choices! I tried a eucomis a couple of years ago and it grew for a little while, had great foliage, but never bloomed, then it died. I never tried one again.<BR/>I think I might do another couple posts on other catalogs I've gotten. There's so much good stuff out there! Or maybe I'm just garden-starved...<BR/>Thanks, Kim!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-12418616170886105082008-01-07T23:24:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:24:00.000-05:00You're SO right about that--we would be very detri...You're SO right about that--we would be very detrimental to each other's pocketbook if we were allowed to plant shop together! lol.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I have to confess that I am weak... I just decided to reward myself for working 163.4 hours in the past two weeks by placing a PDN order:<BR/>- 'Solar Flare' bergenia<BR/>- 'Hab Grey' sedum<BR/>- 'Sparkling Burgundy' eucomis<BR/><BR/>I will definitely look for that sedum for you at the MG sale this spring--but like I said, you can have an offspring of mine if I don't find you a larger pot of it at the sale. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-4538792946746977462008-01-07T19:49:00.000-05:002008-01-07T19:49:00.000-05:00OOps I said I was in zone 5b...wrong...

And of course, it's several months before I can think about buying anything for planting, so I could change my mind by then. This whole "Want List" process has only just begun! LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Katie ~</B> I saw 'Hot Lips' when we visited Marie Selby Gardens last year and it was really pretty. It definitely caught my eye as we walked by.<BR/><BR/><B>Jessica ~</B> Oh we're all just a bunch of pathetic enablers! What is it about seeds and plants that causes us to want it all?<BR/><BR/><B>Jodi ~</B> Oh I know - it's the same with books. I will never ever be able to read all the books that catch my interest. But that's what keeps me reading and the endless supply of titillating plants keeps gardening so fun. <BR/><BR/><B>Muum ~</B> What I usually do is put things in my shopping cart, print that out, then keep it for reference for the coming year. It's just a reminder of what's out there that I might be interested in. I really don't have that much extra space in the current gardens for a lot of new things, but of course, we DO live on an acre and it's not even close to being used up by gardens! ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Bloomin Designs (Mike)~</B> Welcome to Our Little Acre! I hope you'll come back again! <BR/><BR/>There's a difference between "need" and "want", but sometimes you "need" something so you don't "want" it anymore. LOL. I know exactly how your wife feels.<BR/><BR/><B>Meems ~</B> I didn't know you couldn't have hostas there! That would be hard for me, as they are among my favorites. Zone envy works both ways, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/><B>Kate ~</B> I agree, that hardy ground orchid is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for orchids of any kind. Most of their offerings are out of <I>my</I> zone range. Probably a good thing, though.<BR/><BR/>You have a good Sunday too, Kate! Thanks!<BR/><BR/><B>Kim ~</B> You know we would be so bad for each other if we were allowed to plant shop together on a regular basis. I figured that out last October! LOL!<BR/>Oh please do get me the sedum if you can! I love Master Gardener sales. Mom's group does it too and I usually manage to come away with a few things. Around here, however, there isn't usually anything all that unique because our garden centers don't have near the offerings that larger ones do. Thus, the gardeners here rarely have extras of anything that I might want or need for my own garden.<BR/><BR/>Wayside Gardens' new catalog has a few things I'd like, too. *sigh*Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-74294270958015020052008-01-06T00:09:00.000-05:002008-01-06T00:09:00.000-05:00Oh, I should have known you were as enamored of th...Oh, I should have known you were as enamored of the PDN catalog as I am! lol. I may just order that 'Hab's Gray' sedum, because I definitely have to get the 'Solar Flare' bergenia and they have a $35 minimum on mail order. <BR/><BR/>But don't buy the s. mediovariegatum because I have that--bought it at a master gardener plant sale here in Lakewood last year. I'll check the sale this spring to see if they have one (for a mere $3) for you, and if not I'll just root mine for you.
