I've been an obsessive
collector of perennial plants for well over 25 years by now.
Whenever I discover a new plant genera that appears garden worthy for
our zone 4/5 gardens, it seems I have to start a collection of as many
species within the genera as I have room for! One is never
enough!
I justify my unbridled plant
shopping habit by, at the moment, telling myself that I'm purchasing
plants for my clients' gardens, but somehow it always turns into a "one
for them, two for me" shopping trip.
Then I justify these purchases
by saying to myself "well ... I'll be able to report on some unusual new
plants and how to grow them well, to the people who subscribe to my
newsletter". This works for awhile, but it turns into
a Catch-22 since I need to spend so much time looking after my
plant collection that I don't have time to write more newsletters!
Ah well - I know I'm not alone
in this plant collector's dilemma. There's lots of us out there -
and we're all having a blast!
Here's just a few of my
current obsessions.
Cheers!
