| Sometimes I feel like I'm always late to the party - plant wise that is. I grow around 300+ varieties of perennials in my small garden, but there are certain groups I just haven't gotten around to. I mean plants everyone else in the universe seems to have, but for no particular reason I don't have.
A few examples: Just got my first Eupatorium this fall.
I'm sure there are other things, but that gives you some idea. Am I alone in my lateness at acquiring common things? Kevin |

| Nope, I do the same thing. I'll look at something every year in a plant catalog and think, "I'd really like to grow that," then I skip past it. Later, I overcompensate by getting a bunch of the same kind before trying just one or two lol This year's new things were: Buddleia Asters Sempervivum Primula I'm really hoping they do well for me! I also didn't do Sedum for a while, because it seemed too common, but it's lovely, easy, and reliable, so I'm trying to collect more types :) |

| Not a perennial, but zinnia is the one that comes to mind as a plant I'd love to try. I don't have much shade, but I drool over hellebore. So some of it is that I don't have the right growing conditions. Some of it is that we don't get some plants here in Vancouver until a year or so after they come out in the states, if they come here at all. By then I often forget about the new plant. I do the same as you with grasses, (and hostas), I want so many, but only have 3 varieties. There's always next year, and creating shade. :) Yeona |
