Gardeners! So any new plants, and flowers for this Spring, or Summer? Something new?... [View all]

Something you tried once that didn't work out.

I love going to our parks, and botanical gardens to see my favorites, and something new to me.

Anyone planting saplings?

I just found out about camellias from a friend. So many kinds: anenomie, rose, and peony forms.
