That's okay...I totally understand. It was fun, tho! The manager gave a little talk about the nursery industry...about some of the growers that are going under because of the economy. He had lots of plants to give away after we had supper.

I won a new introduction, a rare skullcap found in Mexico by a plant hunter named......Starr. The plant is called Starrfire Red Skullcap. Looks more like a ground cover with tiny red flowers. I hope I don't kill it with kindness! He found it growing in the limestone cliffs along an area where they were building a new road in Mexico.
Scutellaria sp. Starrfire skullcap

We just got home about an hour ago. I didn't buy a lot, but my friend sure did! We got a 20% discount on everything. One couple bought a huge $350. wind chime!

I'm still moving pots at my house! Taking a break tomorrow to clean the house...
