I hope I make it there before daffodils are by. Time will tell. <em>Layanee, the daffs will wait a bit for you - hope you can make it. But even if you miss them, there are plenty more blooms coming (tulips are around the corner). -kris</em> Love the group photo and the others too of course!

I hate hate hate deadheading those things at the garden centers. I'm guessing that your concerns are the same as the garden center's--you have to leave as much of it blooming for your visitors as we have to leave for our customers. (If I had this stuff at home, on the other hand, I'd just grab it all together at the top and hack half of it off in an arc, and then call it a day.) I must have missed something... why are you all wearing blue for Mary? <em>Kim, It's true - we like to keep all the blooms we can even on a tedious-to-deadhead plant. There are some of us who would much rather give them a bowl cut though! I don't think I realized you work in the *trade* too - cool! And you didn't miss anything. I was being deliberately cryptic. Mary has been under the weather (what a strange expression that is come to think of it!) and we wanted to send her a big group hug. -kris</em> You are SO right about the threadleaf coreopsis!
