Hi, I'm new to the Perennial forum, but not so new to Gardenweb. I wander around here occasionally to see what I can learn. Fields of lavendar are so beautiful and calming. I Absolutely love them. They are rare here in Georgia however. |

Hello everyone, I just now received 4 trees I ordered from a nursery which appears to be held in pretty high regard. I am pretty new to the tree scene, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed in two of the trees I received. Should I be? |
