Introduction
James Waddick (Thu, 26 Jan 2006 08:44:33 PST)
I am Aaron Floden, I currently live in Manhattan, Kansas.
My garden is in eastern Kansas (Z5/6) just south of
Kansas City, one half hour(depending on how fast you
drive) south of Jim Waddick, in a completely different
climate, soil, and all the rest.
Dear All;
Seems silly to welcome Aaron to the list since I welcome him
to my door more often. And surprised he wasn't already a regular (but
may have been lurking?). His garden is at the southern end of Kansas
City (mine in the north end of town) and he can make it here in half
an hour, but it take me closer to an hour to drive (at the speed
limit !) to visit him.
He commutes from Manhattan KS (KS St Univ) to home at light
speed and goes planting hunting at the drop of a hat (or less) with a
fantastic eye for finding variegated and unusual natives. Then I can
sometimes talk him out of later.
I had the pleasure to introduce him to Tony Avent a week or
so ago over lunch and then sat back for their 'drone' on Trillium
collecting spots. Not too painful (wink).
So he grows a lot of bulbous plants- many from seed - and
will surely add to the list as his class time (or avoidance of class
work) and fiance Heather, permits.
Welcome Jim W.
