My first fall plant order arrived today and I am so happy with them!!! They were very well packed, gorgeously green and the soil in the pots was still moist. They came from http://www.thegrowers-exchange.com/ I already have a few plants on a list for a Spring order, also ones that I have not seen available around here. One thing I thought was very unusual was that about 2 weeks ago I received an email from Customer Support letting me know that the Feverfew I had ordered was not coming up to their standard, I was given the choice of choosing a substitute or a refund. The Roman Chamomile is the sub I requested. 3--Roman Chamomile 3--Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus' 1--St. John's Wort 1--Tansy 3--Achillea millefolium I already have locations picked out for them, just hope we actually get some rain this weekend so the ground will be ready for them.

Your plants look lovely Toni. I have their catalog here, and also just got a catalog from Terra Ceia Farms. They specialize in bulbs. I got a lot of freebie plants this year from friends and garden centers, but the drought killed nearly all of them. I hope next summer is perfect--not too hot, dry or otherwise off. My lavender plants did nicely, so I hope they make it through the winter. I cannot decide whether to leave them in the large tub, or put them in the ground ? They are fine in the tub, but will likely outgrow it by next season.
They sure look healthy! I'll have to do an online search on some of them, but I'm guessing they are all drought and heat tolerant?
Those plants should all be great for attracting bees Toni. I'll look forward to seeing them in situ. :-D
