It's a good thing that Dragonfly is an hour and a half from me and that Far Reaches is 40 more minutes from Dragonfly because if they were closer, I'd have to get another job to support my addiction!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-74535491546389539972013-04-11T17:30:11.879-07:002013-04-11T17:30:11.879-07:00During my trip out there last summer we visited so...During my trip out there last summer we visited some great nurseries but Dragonfly Farms was my favorite. One of these days I should post the pictures. If I had a nursery even remotely close to this near me I'd be broke. And Heidi-what a hoot!

Nigel was such a good sport about our shopping silliness! Feel free to steal my pictures-I'm glad you liked that one! I think that that wholesale bulb catalog that comes every year requires that one buy larger quantities but the prices are quite low so I'll be watching for it in the mail! As for Danger and the old man comment, it's only fair and you can call me just about anything as long as you don't call me late for dinner! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-42128563432914295832013-04-11T14:20:14.714-07:002013-04-11T14:20:14.714-07:00I wondered if the zingy new foliage might propel t...I wondered if the zingy new foliage might propel this from old lady/man shrub to kind of cool.

I was tired, though, and I really needed to reward Nigel for being so good (he got a ride on the ferry for his patience). Dragonfly is such a great place, it's a hard act for any other nursery to follow. I hope you don't mind me stealing that picture of me! It's one of the few that I actually like. You got some wonderful pictures of Dragonfly. I need that Fritillaria too. Maybe I'll order extra and we can share them. See if either one of us remembers.
