| Tom, I love this series of plant profiles you have been putting together. This gives me insight on what plants I can plan for when I start planting my layout later this year and next year. Thanks |

| I agree, the idea of specifying plant habits / growth/growing zones, etc make a huge difference to what a person might consider in the train garden. When I started, plants were put in that either grew too prolifically OR not the right plant for the placement ( too near the track or way too big for even G scale ). I think Tom Knight has done a great service in this endeavor . Thanks .... |
