Hi Lisa -

Is this the MN/WI auction that is usually later in the season [early August

]or is this something different??

Lisa was obviously too busy getting ready for the shindig today to be able to write back. Today is the MHS garden tour... this year in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities.

I had hoped to go, but we have a deck party planned tonight, with 16 folks checking out the garden, so I'm tied to the chore list for the rest of the day. I'm sure a great time will be had by all. Maybe HostaRod or Lois (she was planning to go) will give us a report...

Honestly....I missed you at the auction Rod. Our Mystery plant is always a desireable breeder. Would you believe a streaky Dorothy Benedict single division, OS, went for $125.-? Lucky duck. It could have been going home to Iowa with you. Rats, win some, lose some. Are you heading home on Sunday? Call me. You have an open invitation to visit PutnamGardens. Later, Love, Lisa

Argh, I wish I had checked the forum last night or even this morning! That's only a couple of miles from my house!

Sorry to have missed it.

Matt
