Boy, was I excited when I realized I could actually order. I suffered through my computer's attempt to cope with their overly fussy, slow loading pages, I got all the info typed in correctly, and as I moved to the bottom of the page to click the submit key I suddenly stopped cold, stupified at my own idiocy. I am about to leave on a week's vacation. This is the wrong time to order fragile, valuable plants. Luckily, they had a box on their form where you can specify when to ship.
Life is good again.
I know it won't bloom until next year, but I can put it in the ground in the fall so what the heck. The foliage is nice all year. Today was gorgeous again. Look, I suffered for eight years with horrible summer weather. It's so marvelous to go out in the heat without needing a change of clothes afterwards.
