Hi Nan! I always enjoy these posts… where you highlight three plants. I ordered one for friends last year (I don’t have enough sunshine) and am anxious to see how it does this coming year! Persicarium (sp)

It’s great to hear that you enjoy these profiles, Shady. I hope the persicaria does well in your friend’s garden.

Always something to learn here, Nan. I was internet free for just six hours and believe it or not got a lot done at the desk. Hmmmm…the internet can be distracting with all the gardening information shared. Glad you are writing yet another book. Will look forward to it.

It did end up being a very productive period in other ways, but I hope I never have to deal with that again. I figure it was the longest period I went without internet access since I first got on in 1989. Wow, that was 20 years ago. I feel old.

Ooooo, I love the red dragon. I have perennial called Blood Grass by the friend who gave it to me in my oriental garden area. It ads an unassuming color.

Sorry to hear about your loss of DSL service. Years ago it gave me fits too. The DSL worked well but the phone lines were a problem. I spent hours on the phone pleading, begging and even yelling to try to get the problems fixed. I now have a cable connection that has been working very well. Good luck with your new provider. Glad to have you back!

Oh yes, I love blood grass too, especially in the fall. There aren’t many sources of a clear red color like that.

I’ll be joining you on a cable connection, but through a different company. Even subtracting the holidays and weekends, four work days with no service and no service appointment is unacceptable in my book.
