That's okay, one of the nurseries here was selling some rhodies for
$50 - $75 a plant that will die in our east of the Cascades winter.
Speaking of which, now I remember what I've been wanting to tell yall
-- there's a lady one block over from me who has a 6 year old
*camelia* growing on the north side of her house. I kid you not!
That sucker is blooming right now! I saw it last week and didn't
believe my eyes so I took her a basket of forsythia stems and chatted
her up about that camelia. She doesn't do anything but throw some
straw around the base for winter protection. I almost cried when I
saw it -- Grandma had one just like it.
