Hello

I just wanted to say that I took your advice...in regards to the previous post. I went out and bought a couple of plants (not herbs this time lol). Here's what I got:
Echinacea "Mac N Cheese"
Echinacea "Tiki Torch"
Heuchera "Citronelle"
Heuchera "Midnight Rose"
Heuchera "Georgia Peach"
Hollyhock "Peaches N Dreams"

Also, I'll be getting echinacea "Tomato Soup" later on this year. I couldn't buy it at the nursery because they were sold out, but they said that they should have some more in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, in a few years, I'll be able to offer these on the forum, but by then there'll probably be some newer echinacea and heuchera varieties that everyone wants. Oh well, life goes on lol.

Nice choices. How big were your pots of echinacea? And if I can be nosy, how much?

That's cool! Love the Echinacea, and you will be able to collect seeds from those for trading, though they may not come true from the hybrids. They ought to get some really cool seed trades this fall/winter/spring.

Did you get the email I sent late last night? I sent it privately, and not through the GW system. LMK

Ok, about the price, I don't even want to think about how much they cost...let's just say they weren't cheap ugh! My mom got them for me as gifts though, so I didn't want to be rude and ask, but I took a peek at the price tag in the pot and it wasn't low. It was in a gallon size pot, though, so for a plant that big, maybe it wasn't a bad price...

Congratulations are your new plants! I love the Midnight Rose Heuchera. I was able to see the echinacea at my local nursery and was so excited. Tiki Torch looked so bright. Did you know that Mac 'n' Cheese and Tomato Soup are brand new introductions for this year? So they will be in demand for a while.

When you would ever get any seeds from the Echinacea I would be interested

Thank You
