except maybe if we have more non-winters like the past one.

Here it is -- it already has flower buds, so I'll get to see it bloom. I took this friday night, it's planted now, along with the other things the cart.

Some of the other stuff I bought -- a couple of ornamental grasses, a canna with very narrow leaves, a pomegranate to grow in a pot, some lime green petunias, a couple of herbs, a few perennials, and something I had to have when I saw it, this dogwood, Cornus x 'Venus' -- the bracts are enormous.
