Innocent sentence, above, if you don't know many gardeners. Why? The 4 names, above, are all Rock Stars of the horticulture industry.

Martha Stewart is so impressed with Don Shadow she has an article/video about him, here.

Don Shadow, above/below. Michael Dirr, another rock star, at a lecture decades ago, referenced Don Shadow with obvious awe/respect in his tone. From that 'tone' I sought & attended a Don Shadow lecture decades ago too.
Don Shadow nursery, below. It's rare to discover a man, living, comparable to the late Victorian era of wide ranging talents & interests & action. Shadow wears that mantle with ease.
No surprise Susanne & Jeri are on their way to pick up Hydrangea 'Ruby Slippers' Don Shadow Nursery is providing (gratis) the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival.

Take some of the links, above, about Don Shadow. He's a renaissance man of the Land, and far ahead of our era. Alternative livestock anyone? Has me wondering if he's friends with Wendell_Berry. And knowing it's time for a road trip, I've never been to Shadow's nursery.
