Yes, we have no lavandula dentata

Well, shoot. I went to Hi Hoe Nursery this afternoon and they don't have any lavandula dentata this year, although the lady there was impressed that I knew the Latin name of the plant I was seeking. I did buy some begonias -- red and white, bacopa -- pale purple, callie (aka calibrachoa) in purple and red, and a couple other little plants.

I'll keep an eye out for lavandula dentata as I visit other nurseries in the area, but I'm not optimistic. Here are the nurseries I go to:

• Hi Hoe Nursery
• Bakerview Nursery & Garden Center
• Vander Giessen Nursery
• Van Wingerden Garden Center
• Garden Spot Nursery
• Gardens at Padden Creek
• Kent's Garden & Nursery

Every one of these places is charming to visit and full of beautiful plants and garden paraphernalia. It's a veritable embarrassment of riches.
