Hooray! My goodies from the Dutch Bulb Company were waiting for me by the front door when I got home from work today :)

In the box was 1 Great Gunnera, 2 Hardy Fuschias (one pink and white and one purple and white) and 1 Tree Peony.

I had ordered these back in January, but they don't ship them until planting time...which actually is quite handy. I promptly went out and planted all my goodies.

The Great Gunnerra went on the far creek bank. The 2 Fuschias went by the Lilac in the back of the azalea bed and the Tree Peony went in the new bed where we took out the maple tree this past winter.

I would have taken picts...but they were all shipped bare root, so the picts would not have looked like much. Hopefully they will thrive and be amazing :)

bsmitch	Mar 17, 2008 \| 6:54 PM PST I think it is a good time to remind the new gardeners not to be too disappointed when they receive plants that they ordered online. In most cases they will grow into the mature beauty that the catalogs show. The trade off is that you spend less money online then when purchasing the more established plants from the nursery. I do it both ways, not because I'm a great planner like a lot of you are, but I'm an impulse gardener. If it looks good, I'll find a place for it. You are all such good friends here at GG, I sincerely wish you all a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell Last edited by bsmitch on March 17th at 8:45 PM.

soaphouse	Mar 18, 2008 \| 3:02 PM PST you are right bill, mail order items always look much different when they come than in the catalog...but I love the deals you can get as well as knowing you are ordering the exact thing that you want :)
