I have been down with the flu for a few weeks so the blog and everything else has suffered. I have been saving the illustration above for just such an occasion. I received it as a postcard in February 2013 from Arrowhead Alpines, a wonderful retail and mail order nursery in Fowlerville, Michigan, specializing in rare and unusual plants. They have a huge selection of uncommon perennials, woodland wildflowers, ferns, rare alpines, dwarf conifers, and out-of-the-ordinary trees and shrubs. They are also very nice people. If you can’t find what you are looking for at your local nursery, Arrowhead is the place to go. Click here for their website/catalogue.
The print is kind of small, so click on the image to enlarge it. I especially like the part about ripping out the lawn and the recommendation of miniature hostas :-). No matter how many times I follow the arrows through the options, it makes me laugh. How could the answer to “Do you need a new plant?” be anything but yes!
