Now, reading back on your posts I've missed, I see you've moved! What a transition this must be, and I can only imagine how hard it was to give up your beautiful garden. I loved seeing all the before and after pictures, and I wait to see what new adventures you'll be having in your new garden. I have never grown rose campion, I don't know why, it's stunning. And the new one is really a beauty too. I love those pink lady slippers at your mother in law's house, they are a treasure. We have yellow ones here from Carl's grandfather and I'm always happy to see them each spring.<br /><br />So good to visit with you again!
