Lists! Order Forms!

Gloomy, rainy, gloomy, in the low 40s.  Did I say gloomy outside?

A good day to make lists, draw plans and place orders.  I deliberately did not place any orders over the winter because my design plans are always in such a state of flux.

But today I put orders in totalling $745 to several mail order sites.  I plan to go down to Broken Arrow in early April, and I'll get more items I want there.  And there will be other purchases at the local nurseries too.

Okay, this is my journal, so here goes.  I need to document!  I'll list what I ordered:

Whiteflower Farm - $291:

6 Viola 'Rebecca' - shallow pots in front of the new shed

1 Basil 'Pistou' - under the birdbath

3 Coleus 'Redhead' - for a pop among grasses West Walk

3 Gomphrena 'Strawberry Fields' - fill in Meadow's Edge

1 Nicotiana alata - fragrance near patio wall

6 Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' - where purple coneflowers were

3 Astilbe 'Bridal Veil' - bright white under river birch on berm

Bluestone Perennials - $76.75:

3 Rudbeckia fulgida - not 'Goldsturm'! to replace

3 Physostegia 'Miss Manners' - to add more

3 Lobelia cardinalis - to add more

3 Carex 'Ice Dance' - to replace liriopes

Forestfarm - $205:

2 Hydrangea 'Tardiva' - see my Inspiration post

3 Rhus "Grow Lo" - add more under birches

2 Bergenia 'Bressingham Ruby' - black trough containers

1 Lysimachia 'Aurea' - black trough container

1 Aruncus Dioicus - try again

Lazy S Farm - $173:

8 Epimedium 'Frohnleiten' - to add more

And, at Broken Arrow I want to get:

Rosa Glauca - by shed

Comptonia peregrima - dry spot to right of garage door

Hamamelis - to add to witch hazel strip

Disanthus cercidifolius - add to witch hazel strip

Those are my plants and my plans.  They'll change again, but I had to make a decision and get some orders in!
