As I've continued to explore the blogosphere I am ever more gratified when I find folks whose interests, and combination of interests match my own. Garden writing is one of them.
Here is as good an example as I have yet found.
The post about Clematis reminds me of the time I drove 20 miles or so to a nursery recommended to me for it's collection of these wonderful vines. On arrival I went first to the office to ask where I might find 'clem-MAH-tis." The woman I spoke to looked at me curiously and seemed about to tell me she didn't carry them. Finally, it dawned on her what I was asking for. "Oh!," she said. "You mean 'CLEM-a-tis." and pointed me to a building in the back.
Failing to find them I asked a worker near by where I might find the "CLEM-a-tis." He frowned and shook his head. "Dunno," he said.
"Oh, wait!," he offered. "Do you mean Clem-MAH-tis?"
I swear! I did not make this up.
