Many, many years ago, I discovered a mail-order nursery in northwestern Connecticut known as White Flower Farm. It was mythical then, and its catalog was a thing of beauty that cost, if I remember correctly, five bucks... a princely sum considering that most of nurseries didn't charge a penny. However, I always found the money to get the publication, and I probably saved every edition. They were that gorgeous. Alas, the headliners were pricey, and I don't think I ever actually ordered anything, although one plant I coveted, even dreamed about, was a Japanese native Jack-in-the-Pulpit often dubbed the Snow Rice Cake Plant. It was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen, and, at over $100 a pop, one of the most expensive. These days, however, we make an annual pilgrimage to White Flower Farm for their bargain sale every June, and a couple of years ago, we found that coveted plant offered bare-root for $5.95. We snatched it up and got it in the ground. All good things sometimes come to those who wait. Here's proof that the venerable adage is sometimes true.
