| Does anyone have a suggestion for a plant to memorialize my dog named Jim? She is buried in a very shady woodland spot so I could plant something there, but I would also consider planting something with the right name in one her favourite sunny spots. |

| There is a daylily named 'Which way, Jim?' |

| Thank you for your suggestions (and kind words). I'll look into these. "Which way Jim? could work as we would stand at the end of our driveway and I'd ask her this before our walks. :) |

| Thanks all. Not as much story to the girl named Jim as you might think. My husband just thought it suited her. I was angling for Daisy, which I thought suited her even better. :) |
