Hi Jude, Where in Massachusetts do you live? I live in Cambridge and hopefully not too far away from you. Like you, I grow a lot of perennials outside and some of them are "supposedly" not rates for this area. I also grow lots of clivia, South African bulbs , a few orchids and other tropicals as well. Please add my name to your news letter.

If you would like to start receiving my newsletters, please contact me privately via email. To all of you new members, my name is Jude, and I grow a wide variety of tropicals, and perennials here in Massachusetts, outside, and in my plant house, and love meeting new plant nuts! Happy spring to all of you! Best, Jude
