Cool and very windy. In the high 50s, even up into the low 60s but the wind makes it feel chillier.Jim and I went to Broken Arrow today and I picked up some more Rhus aromatica Gro Low plants. Also got a comptonia finally. Where to put it?
And I got another persimmon for the back hill. They will call later in the week to let me know when a rosa glauca (where to put that??) and some sassafras saplings come in. They'll hold them for me. We'll have to then go back down to get them.
Such a great nursery, and the staff was very helpful. I do wish they had more straight species, (like a sweetgum I wanted) but they specialize in golden or variegated foliage. The sweetgum was a gold leaved variety, and I just want a regular liquidambar for the back hill.
I also wanted a straight hamamelis virginiana, but they had several other varieties instead.
He specializes in shade plants, particularly hostas, but had lots of interesting things to look at (technically he wasn't open, but encouraged us to walk around on our own.)
And what a property, with plantings everywhere, a pond, paths and trails.
It was a very enjoyable tour.
