fleaSpring White Flower Farm catalog came last night. I am thinking of getting:
"Dawn and Dusk" which is a dark purple single clematic (Etoile Violette) and a pale pink climbing rose (New Dawn). For the post of my carport that gets sun.
Something to put in the hole between the butterfly bush and the scraggly azalea. Possibly a Rudbeckia (but the one I like best, Toto, is an annual), Echinacea (but I sort of want yellow not purple; I know they have orange but they look freaky to me), Asclepias.
A lily of some kind. Where to put it I don't know.
Then we sort of roll into "everything else in the catalog."
For vegetables I have Johnny's and Seeds of Change. Drooling over things I do not have the time, equipment, space, need for many plants, or diligence to start from seed, like tomatoes. Makes much more sense to buy a seedling from the farmer's market. But. Want.

If the paperwhites die off quickly after blooming (which I vaguely recall is so), then I might go in for an amaryllis bulb, which they also sell at my farm store.
