There was a plant that had the word, "pineapple" in it that I wanted to find, but we didn't see many nurseries, and those I did see, Larry speeded up the car to get past them before I had a chance to ask him to stop.<BR/><BR/>I love all of these plants you got from Niche. I have a phlox similar to yours. It's a woodland phlox.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-36281685696743786232009-02-10T23:43:00.000-05:002009-02-10T23:43:00.000-05:00Hi Anna,Yes, I definitely recommend trying their c...Hi Anna,<BR/>Yes, I definitely recommend trying their catalog. I have kept almost every single catalog I've received from Niche -- they are a wonderful reference to have.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-68112762922017716182009-02-10T23:35:00.000-05:002009-02-10T23:35:00.000-05:00Hi Ernestine,I hope you are continuing to feel bet...Hi Ernestine,<BR/><BR/>I hope you are continuing to feel better, and thank you for your kind comment.<BR/><BR/>Our house does have cedar siding and was built in '96. We have not had any problems with woodpeckers or Carpenter Bees going after the siding, although the bees have been drilling in our porch railings and the rafters of our hay shelter.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-34734020947027882612009-02-10T23:31:00.000-05:002009-02-10T23:31:00.000-05:00Gail,One of the things I like best about the Niche...Gail,<BR/><BR/>One of the things I like best about the Niche Gardens' catalog is that descriptions of the plants are beautiful, but they don't sugarcoat anything. They tell you what conditions the plants like, and what size the plants will attain, which is very nice.<BR/><BR/>Plus, they ship good-sized healthy plants. The only fault I have found recently is that some of the azaleas have been very rootbound. Still, most of my native azaleas I purchased from Niche and they are doing very well.<BR/><BR/>I just hope Niche can survive these tough economic times -- a lot of nurseries have gone under in the past few years.<BR/><BR/>Next time I go over there I'll have to snap some pictures -- Niche does have a charming display garden with a lot of garden art.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-1988945737751610332009-02-10T23:18:00.000-05:002009-02-10T23:18:00.000-05:00Hi Tina, and thank you.
