Ha!!! Too classic, Nan! I’ve always wanted a rock’n'roll garden here at Hawk’s Haven, with, of course, ‘Heavy Metal’, ‘Jethro Tull’, and ‘Stairway to Heaven’ as (rock) stars. Didn’t know there was a ‘Metallica’ ajuga, but I’ll add it to the list. That ‘Serious Black’ clematis is just amazing! I want one!!! And, of course, I love the idea of a ‘Lord Voldemort’ coleus. There should be a ‘Weaselly’ (er, sp.?) hosta with twisted leaves, too…

Yes, that clematis really is exceptional for foliage; you’d really like it. I wonder if I can get a piece off of it for you; I’ll have a look.

I tried to buy a daylily for every member of my family. That fell apart when I couldn’t find one for one of my daughters and didn’t think it was fair that one girl was represented and the other wasn’t. I love theme gardens though.
(P.S. I often buy plants on impulse and don’t worry about whether I have the right conditions. I figure it out when I get home)

Hi there, Jane Marie! If you want to tell us the names you’re looking for, maybe I or another reader can help you find plants to represent both girls.
